Property Description
Timeless charm meets thoughtful updates in this classic Rockford home located in the heart of the desirable 61107 zip code. With a regal elevation, original woodwork, and beautiful natural light throughout, 511 N Chicago Ave is a standout opportunity for buyers seeking character, space, and quality. The main level offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, a full bath, and expansive living and dining areas featuring rich wood floors, a cozy fireplace, and 9-foot ceilings. The upper-level bungalow provides additional flexible space perfect for a home office, studio, or guest retreat. Downstairs, the clean basement includes a finished room with an egress window and closet, adding even more livable square footage. Major mechanical updates have already been handled: a new roof and central A/C were installed in 2023, and the furnace and water heater were replaced in 2021. The detached two-stall garage is accessed via the alley, and the property includes two additional off-street parking spaces. A nice yard and classic front porch complete the outdoor setting. With a strong mix of original craftsmanship and modern upgrades, this home is ready for its next chapter. Close to parks, schools, downtown, and Rockford's east side amenities. Agent Interest
