900 Alexander St, Galena, IL 61036

No other property in Galena is as surprising as this one! It includes all the land facing Alexander St and is the only home with an Alexander St address. This charming home is an expanded historic brick miner’s cottage. The unique home has a newer metal roof and an attached oversized two-car garage with a workshop area. You will love the private country-feeling view from the expansive deck and screened porch. Spreading across just under 2 acres of paths, evergreens, fruit and ornamental trees, perennials, a small pond to restore, and a fenced vegetable garden; a sturdy garden shed for the avid gardener and Quonset hut frame for wood storage is included. The eat-in kitchen has a large walk-in pantry and a sliding door to the deck for easy entertaining. The comfortable living room has a large opening to the kitchen for that open feeling and French doors to the deck. The main floor has a full bath, a large laundry room, and two bedrooms; one has an attached dressing room and an office area. The second floor offers two bedrooms, one with a private deck and one with a sitting room. The 25’ x 15’7 central room was built to be an incredible artist studio with Northern Exposure. The peaceful panoramic wooded view is an inspiration. If you need storage, the two large attic storage rooms will more than meet your needs. The walkout basement features a well-equipped summer kitchen, a storage room for your canned goods or wine, and a workshop area currently used for mosaic projects. The cement patio under the deck offers additional versatile space. Don’t miss this opportunity to feel like you are in the country in the heart of Galena.
