    A beautiful historic brick and frame home with many updates! This cozy 2 bed/2 bath/2-car garage cottage is close to downtown Galena's Main Street restaurant district. This rare find offers two lots with expansive yard space. The main level has an updated kitchen with white cabinetry, white appliances, a stackable washer/dryer, a spacious living room, and a cozy bedroom with an adjacent full bath. The upper level has built-in storage at the top of the stairs, a large master bedroom that was originally two rooms now open to one, and a second adjacent full bath. This home has refinished pine wood flooring throughout and new tile flooring in the bathrooms. The small rear deck leads to a well-maintained yard with a quaint swing. A detached two-car garage with two additional parking spots sits on the second lot across the alley against a wooded backdrop. Previous sellers stated that updates in 2017 include new electrical panel, some wiring, water and drain-pipes in house, kitchen, upper bath remodel and main floor bath addition, and second bedroom with closet, floors refinished, new air ducts upstairs, most drywall redone, fresh paint on walls and trim, scraped and painted exterior trim and shutters. Updates in 2019 include new landscaping and fence front and back, new side door and windows in the garage, new concrete driveway, new storm doors front and back, new furnace and air conditioning, new storm windows and window treatments, new washer/dryer, and new bath fixtures and flooring in both bathrooms. This property won't last, so call today to see it!
