Property Description
Truly a Galena masterpiece blending timeless character with thoughtful modern updates and rustic charm. Welcome to 619 S. Dodge, an exceptional 2 bed, 2 bath historic frame home beautifully restored, remodeled, and expanded with several quality additions, all set on a stunning .60-acre parcel just minutes from the heart of Downtown Galena. From the inviting covered front porch, step inside to a light-filled main level that showcases rich hardwood flooring with intricate inlay accents, a warm and welcoming living room, and an impressive, fully updated kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, cathedral ceilings, a substantial center island with eat-at seating, sleek appliances including a gas range, and lovely views overlooking the rear patio and picturesque grounds. Entertain with ease in the generous formal dining room (heirloom light fixture has been changed from pictured), or unwind in the expansive family room complete with wood stove, brick surround, pocket doors for privacy, and direct access to the charming enclosed porch wrapped in divided-light windows that beautifully frame the surrounding landscape. The main level also includes a well-designed mudroom with built-in storage and utility sink offering convenient access to the backyard, a spacious primary bedroom highlighted by a bay window alcove and its own gas stove, a comfortable guest bedroom with elevated ceilings and a unique lofted sleeping nook, and two nicely appointed bathrooms positioned for convenience. The lower level adds versatility with a cozy additional family room featuring exposed stone walls, a laundry/utility area with sink vanity, cabinetry, and folding counter, plus flexible hobby space with direct stair access to the mudroom, ready for your finishing flooring touches. Outside, the property truly shines with beautifully manicured grounds offering terraced gardens, limestone retaining walls, three tranquil pond features, mature trees, and a variety of plantings that create a private, park-like setting ideal for relaxation or entertaining. A detached 1+ car garage provides space for a vehicle, workshop, and storage, complemented by a covered paver patio and fenced area to the rear perfect for pets, gardening, or additional outdoor use. Additional highlights include invisible fencing and a location that perfectly balances peaceful seclusion with convenient proximity to Galena's renowned shopping, dining, and events. A rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind meticulously maintained property rich in history, charm, and natural beauty. This is truly a retreat unlike any other.
