Description

Welcome to this charming 10.5-acre country farmette, offering serene country living just 6 miles from historic downtown Galena. The property includes a 36 x 80 divided pole barn with one side having a concrete floor and a historic barn with a workshop area, stalls, pens, and a loft, perfect for farming, hobbies, or various projects. The solid three-bedroom, two-bathroom home provides convenient main-level living, featuring a spacious primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and a pocket door leading to the adjacent bathroom. Additionally, the main floor includes a versatile extra room, ideal for use as a dressing room, second bedroom, office, or den. The laundry room is well-equipped with a pocket door, and washer and dryer and offers plenty of space for sorting, folding and storing clothes. The kitchen and dining room are connected, providing a functional layout, although the cupboards could benefit from an update. The large living room, with access to the front porch, offers stunning northern views, though some minor updates like new doors and flooring may be needed. Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms and an additional extra room that could serve as a playroom or office. The upper-level full bath includes a tub, double vanity, and generous storage. A partially finished walk-up attic offers even more possibilities, whether as a playroom, craft space, or storage area. The full, unfinished basement is clean, dry, and has outside access, making it perfect for a workshop, storage, or other creative uses. A charming original outhouse adds a bit of rustic charm and conversation to the property. Outside, enjoy stunning views in every direction and watch as the man-made pond continues to fill beautifully. Tillable acres offer income potential. This unique farmette offers the perfect blend of rural charm and modern convenience, all within a short drive to Galena's historic downtown. Don't miss out-schedule your viewing today!
