505 Territory Dr, Galena, IL 61036

Brand new flooring was just installed in this Galena Territory home offering a 3b/2b main house, a new detached 2 car garage with a studio apartment, and an adjoining buildable lot at 503 Territory Drive. Right from the start, the new driveway, expansive low-maintenance landscaping, and stone retaining wall call you home. Enter the main house to a vaulted entry with tile floors and a coat closet open to the second floor loft filled with natural light from abundant windows. Take four steps down to the sunken great room with vaulted ceilings full of windows, and a wood burning fireplace that opens to an expansive stone patio offering an outdoor kitchen. If you prefer to cook indoors, the spacious kitchen (new dishwasher and fridge) opens to the dining room and continues on to a four-season room which also adjoins the stone patio on the other side, making for great flow while entertaining. On the main level, you will find the master bedroom and elegantly updated master bath complete with a whirlpool tub, tile shower, and double vanity. The laundry/utility room, with a new stackable washer and dryer, is also located on this level making the home perfect for main level living. Upstairs are two guest bedrooms, both with access to a Jack and Jill-style full bath. And a bright loft area is full of potential to meet your wants and needs as an office, craft room, kids gaming room, and more. Home is being sold mostly furnished with a few personal exceptions. Moving on to the new part, completed in the last year, a 36'x36' garage has heated floors, quality built-in garage cabinets, and an oversize studio apartment above. Take the wide finished stairway to the guest studio apartment and immediately be greeted with large windows of Territory views. This wide-open floor plan offers many configurations to meet any owner's needs. An incredible wood-clad patio is off the back of the studio apartment and offers stylish windows that easily collapse to screens allowing you to enjoy as much fresh air as you can handle. The zen, private spa bathroom has a gigantic tile shower and cedar sauna. Note that the garage and apartment have a separate furnace A/C and septic for the addition. 503 Territory Dr (Parcel ID: 09-419-008-00) is also included with this listing offering the adjoining 0.76 acres for privacy or an opportunity to build another house. The lot has electricity, natural gas, fiber, and central water available with hookup fees. A Septic system would need to be installed.
