512 Dewey, Galena, IL 61036 - Jo Daviess County

Charming historic frame in the heart of Galena that began as a one room structure dating back 1830 that has evolved over the years into an enchanting miner's cottage mixing touches of yesteryear with modern styling and convenience. Tucked back off the street nestled amidst the trees, the property offers a very private setting with abundant nature and beautiful grounds all in a location just a few blocks from Main Street, Galena, and even features its own off-street parking with large concrete pad that can accommodate two cars.

Spacious kitchen sits to the rear in the original portion of the house and features good cabinet space, solid surface counters, room for eat-in table, gas range, pantry closet and beadboard accents. Retreat to the upper level to find a cozy bedroom, laundry area with Samsung washer/dryer, supplemental heating and cooling from Fujitsu mini-split heat pump, newly added closet for storage, and spa-like bathroom with updated and upgraded shower with subway tile surround, sleek glass doors and river pebble basin. Exterior features side pergola with tiled terrace over concrete that provides a great spot to enjoy the outdoors, a gorgeous, treed backdrop, beautiful landscaping, striking rock outcroppings, and an aluminum shed shielded to the rear for all your garden tools or extra storage.
