It is a stone's throw from Main Street, where guests can enjoy all Galena offers. Entering, one finds the main foyer with lofted ceilings, beautiful wainscotting, vintage-style wallpaper and fixtures, and the stairwell with a solid wood banister and crown molding. The main floor features the main living room with a gas-burning fireplace, a back parlor with a wet bar, the guest dining area with a gas-burning fireplace, a 4-season sitting room off the dining area with a beautiful marble tile floor, and a half bathroom.

At the back of the house is a cottage with a fifth bedroom, a fireplace, a kitchenette, a private bath, and a sitting room currently used for additional sleeping space. A sixth bedroom on the second floor is used for the owner's guests and includes a private bath and a 4-season sitting room. Entering the owner's space, you'll find a spacious, bright white kitchen with two gas ranges, an oversized 6-ft refrigerator/freezer, and lots of counter and storage space. This open room also serves as the owner's living room, and it includes a gas fireplace, beautiful built-in cabinets and bookshelves, and crown molding. The owner's bedroom has a large sitting room and a private bathroom. Pass through the half-acre grounds to enjoy multiple sitting areas, gardens, and a corner gazebo (popular for weddings) overlooking Galena.
