With over 5,000 square feet above grade, this one-of-a-kind home offers an incredible amount of space, character, and opportunity in a great location near downtown Rockford! While the home retains much of its original style and is ready for updating, the size, layout, and features provide a fantastic foundation for someone looking to bring their vision to life. A large foyer welcomes you inside, leading to a spacious living room with a fireplace and an adjoining sunroom area. Just off the foyer, you'll also find a library with its own separate office space.
