Description

Ever wanted to own a historic home in Galena? This may be the one for you! It has all the charm of old and comforts and convenience of new, such as fiberoptic high speed internet! It looks very stately set far back from the road on a full acre of land which affords it wonderful privacy. Once known as The Scadden House, and later, Hazelwood Farm, Guest House and Country Gardens, research indicates this Historic Frame home on west edge of Galena (just outside city limits and still zoned AG-GEN AG) was built in the 1850's and can be found in the 1898 JDCounty Plat Book (see associated docs) and still has it's original character. Current owners have done much in their 5 year tenure to restore it to its original grandeur beginning with replacing all decaying wood and giving it a fresh paint job with Victorian colors. It has two staircases, twin parlors separated by working pocket doors (one of which can serve dual purpose as a 4th sleeping room), a spacious granite and stainless steel kitchen with skylight and room for two chefs to create together opens into a grand dining room/gathering area one direction, and the other direction to decks and outdoor entertaining area by the relaxing frog pond feature complete with Lily pads, romantic wrought iron table for two and fire pit. The room off dining/kitchen area currently used as office space would make a nice main level laundry (with plumbing already there) plus large pantry. The focal point of the large dining area is a spacious 9'h x 6'w stone wall with natural gas line already in place for addition of a third gas fireplace or gas stove. The unique DaVinci Slate roof tiles and copper painted gutters and downspouts give the home an added elegance. See DaVinci website at for full details or associated docs for brief details on the quality roofing. The quaint 2 car garage still holds remnants of its past. Several historical research articles are included in the associated documents. Large apple and mulberry trees for pies and jellies. Room for large garden, children and pets. 1 year Home Warranty included.
