Description

A breathtaking property offering rural living just a few minutes from Galena's historic main street. The beautiful farmhouse consists of an original part built in 1867 which has been meticulously restored and updated, including custom built-in bookcases, a media center, and a custom-designed wood and polished granite gas fireplace. A large 2-story addition, a 2-car garage, and a screened porch were added in 1993. The house is nearly 3000ft2 with an additional 1000ft2 finished family room in the basement and tons of storage. The entire house underwent a total gut rehab in 2014, including a new kitchen, baths, flooring, wiring, siding, and insulation. In 2022, the heater and on-demand water heater were replaced, and a new septic system was installed. The oversized, eat-in kitchen features quartz countertops with subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry (currently used as an office), a large bay window overlooking the land, and sliding doors opening onto the screened porch. The main level also includes a dining room, living room, large mud room, laundry room, and a half bath. The upper level contains all five bedrooms (primary bedroom ensuite with large soaking tub overlooking the property) and a second full bath. The home sits on 10.35 acres zoned as farmland and includes a beautiful 4200ft2 barn. In 2021/2022, the barn underwent a total restoration inside and out, with new cement work, structural repair, new doors, paint, and a steel roof. Inside is an enclosed workshop with water, electric, and gray-water septic. The additional 59.79 acres are in a conservation easement (lots of wildlife and great hunting and fishing) and contain two stocked ponds, prairie, and forests. The owners have maintained walking trails throughout the property. Too much to describe; this is a must-see property!
