Nice starter home or investment property located in the heart of Galena. This 2 bedroom home has beautiful woodwork, wood floors, a good-sized living room and dining room with large windows to let in the light. The main floor has a bonus room currently being used as an office but was once used as a third bedroom. There is a fenced-in yard with lovely landscaping and a roomy, covered patio. Adjacent to the patio is what was once a "summer kitchen". Home is being sold as-is. The seller is willing to leave some personal property, such as the kitchen table and stools, so if you see something you'd like, just ask. Room sizes and square footage are estimated.
