    What's special

    Enjoy views across the Galena River and a location convenient to all the shops, restaurants, and activities that Galena has to offer. Perched just one street above Historic Main Street you'll find this nicely renovated four bedroom Victorian offering a feeling of yesteryear with functionality of today. Main level entry opens to foyer with ornate staircase. Light and bright living room with lots of windows and pocket doors leads to formal dining room that flows to updated kitchen with lots of cabinetry and counter space, and offers an area for an eat-in table. Rear family room with closet has walk-out to side yard with patio to enjoy the outdoors, and is convenient to full bathroom with laundry and rear staircase to upstairs. Upper level houses spacious master bedroom with huge walk-in closet and elevated views, two large guest bedrooms, one of which has its own separate sitting area, a full bathroom with large shower/tub combo and wainscoting accents, and a cozy third guest bedroom to rear with access to full walk-up attic. Additionally, the home offers a full unfinished basement for workshop or storage. An absolutely charming home tucked into the treed hillside just moments away from the vibrancy of downtown Galena!
