With approximately 1,600 square feet of above-grade living space, the two-story layout offers bright, connected living areas that flow naturally into the kitchen and dining space ideal for everyday living or entertaining. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms provide a practical, family-friendly configuration with flexibility for guests or a home office.

    "Modest single family homes. Most neighbors are friendly and family/community oriented. We live on a quiet dead end street of owner occupied homes as well as rental homes. It’s far enough away from Rockford to not have the high crime rate but close enough to get to Rockford w/in 15 mins. "
