Property Description

Historic charm meets thoughtful updates in this circa-1900 Victorian farmhouse on 2.67 picturesque acres. Land traced to an 1843 federal preemption claim. Four bedrooms, two baths, 2,320 sq ft of authentic character. New roof on house and garage (2026). New furnace (January 2025). New siding on the north and upper west sides of the house. Hardwood floors and original 1900 woodwork run throughout the main level, filled with natural light from large picture windows. The kitchen features Corian counters, a farmer's sink, stainless appliances, tall cabinets, and a spacious center island. A generous office/pantry with cabinets and pull-out shelves offers rare storage flexibility. The updated main floor bath includes an authentic water closet. Main-floor laundry. A bright solarium fills with morning light. A separate three-season cedar porch opens the main level to the outdoors. A wood-burning stove anchors the main house. Upstairs, four inviting bedrooms feature pine floors. An updated bath offers a double-bowl vanity. Built-in bookshelves flank each end of the hallway, a small but distinctive touch. Above it all sits a versatile 800 sq ft cedar-finished walk-up attic with tall peaked ceilings. Studio, office, playroom, hobby space, storage. The next owner decides. The land is 2.67 acres zoned Agricultural, with horses allowed. A woven-wire fenced pasture, apple trees, raised gardens, and mature shade trees surround the home. A fire pit and patio invite gatherings, and a circle driveway welcomes arrivals. Outbuildings include a barn with stalls, concrete floor, and loft. A large detached shop with attached lean-to. A two-car detached garage. A separate wood-burning sauna building. A 3 sided metal structure for firewood. Multiple chicken coops. Water hydrants at the barn and shop. Natural gas. Well water. Septic. Vinyl windows throughout. Pecatonica Schools. About 25 minutes to Rockford. About 40 minutes to the Belvidere Stellantis plant. Full historical research on file. Come see what 125 years of care looks like!
