Charming Woodland Retreat in the Heart of Galena. Nestled on a rare 5.35-acre wooded lot in the city, 602 Monroe Street offers a perfect blend of nature and comfort. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home boasts a 2-car garage and a thoughtfully designed layout. Enter the spacious foyer that flows into the inviting living room with a cathedral ceiling, a gas-burning Ben Franklin stove, and a cozy sitting area—ideal for a formal dining space. The large eat-in kitchen, updated in 2015, features granite countertops, a roomy island, and a generous pantry closet. Off the kitchen, a covered deck leads to an expansive uncovered deck overlooking the gardens, perfect for outdoor entertaining. The upper level is dedicated to a private primary suite, featuring a sitting/office area and a beautifully updated ensuite (2023) with a walk-in shower. The lower level offers a spacious family room, two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, laundry, and storage rooms. Beyond the home, the picturesque acreage showcases native foliage (over 20 species of trees and shrubbery), attracting birds and wildlife. The sellers have cultivated the land carefully, planting over 500 daffodil bulbs, Virginia bluebells, daylilies, hostas, and numerous perennials. Multiple raised garden beds have been nurtured with organic soil for over 30 years, making this a true nature-lover’s paradise. A rare opportunity to own a serene, wooded retreat just minutes from town—don’t miss your chance to call this stunning property home!
