Historic Home And Small Acreage For Sale In Rockford
5731 Charles Street Rockford, IL 61108
Description
Originally homesteaded by William Mulford and his family in the early 1820s, this property has served many purposes over the years. It was said to be used as a stagecoach stop between Chicago and Galena. A rare opportunity to own a piece of history on 5 acres in the heart of Rockford. The brick two-story sits up on the hill with a grand presence. As you enter the double doors off the front of the house, you’re greeted by a beautiful wood staircase and hallway leading you into the formal family room with tall ceilings, hardwood floors, and a fireplace. This flows nicely into the dining room area and the kitchen. There is a first-floor primary bedroom with access to the full bathroom. Upstairs are four good-sized bedrooms as well as a full bathroom. Two additional rooms in the rear of the upstairs could be offices or walk-in closets. The second staircase takes you down to the kitchen and dining room area. Outside, you have a large deck off the rear of the house that looks over the backyard and greenhouse. There are multiple entry points into the property. A nice circle drive up by the house that leads down to the barn. The barn has an access driveway on the east side of the property. The historic 86 x 44 barn has room for parking vehicles, a workshop, three stalls and two loft areas. The house is situated in the middle of the property. Two areas +/- of overgrown field on the west side provide additional opportunity. The unfinished lower level offers tons of storage. First floor laundry. Enclosed porch.
