Description

Location, location, location! Come see this historic brick beauty located just one block from downtown Galena sitting on its own 1.02 acre lot! You’ll enjoy seasonal views of the Galena River from the large wrap-around front porch. This meticulously maintained home was once operated as the John Henry Guest House Bed & Breakfast. The stunning home also won a Historic Preservation Award in 1996 and its award-winning features are still in place. As you enter through the lovely swinging beveled glass doors, you will notice the handsome wood floors that run throughout the house. Much of the original woodwork is still in place as are the built-in cupboards with their exquisite leaded glass doors. On the main floor you’ll find a large living room with a fireplace, a spacious dining room, a half bath, and a beautiful, cozy kitchen. The 2nd level boasts the 4 large bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, two of the bedrooms are currently being used as in home offices. The finished attic is home to another bedroom with a private bath. Some recent maintenance includes: repainting, repaired wood boards on the front and back porch along with pillars and lattice, fascia installed, leafless gutters, blacktop driveway redone in 2020, professional landscaping, and exterior lighting installed. This home is truly spectacular and very well maintained! Call today to line up your personal tour! Two lots, tax ID 22-100-260-00 and 22-101-353-00
