Description

Quintessential charm on a BRICK PAVED, tree-lined Street in the highly sought after Edgewater Neighborhood - one of Rockford's favorites! Lovingly maintained, this character-filled 1920 home has storybook curb appeal and opens to a warm interior where hardwood floors, graceful arched openings and a wood-burning fireplace bring timeless personality to the main living spaces. A unique Butler's PANTRY / Bar Area opens to both the Kitchen and the SUNROOM - use these spaces however your heart desires! Both the Dining Room and the Living Rooms are generous in size, with BUILT-IN Bookcases to show off your collection AND your art. Back porch is the perfect addition to this home - a great place to remove boots and stow your outside fun gear. All three bedrooms are upstairs - and who doesn't enjoy a WALKUP Attic??? The perfect place to store additional home goods or creatively finish into additional living space! The finished lower-level - a rarity in homes of this age, a full basement and plenty of room to store and work, too. Outside, enjoy the convenience of a FENCED YARD, Brick Paver Patio, raised garden beds and a spacious detached two-car garage. Classic architecture, welcoming spaces, central air and a sought-after Edgewater setting come together in a home that feels distinctive from the moment you arrive. Hop, skip to the Neighborhood Oxford Park with NEW playground equipment and loads of OPEN Space. Edgewater is one of the most walkable neighborhoods and enjoys bike path, walking trails along the river and community activities including the Luminary event, Easter Bunny visits and Christmas Party.
