Property Description
Tucked away at the end of a private street in Rockford's historic Brown Hills neighborhood, this extraordinary estate blends timeless architectural character with thoughtful modern luxury. Originally built in the late 1800s and extensively expanded, the home offers approximately 7,450 square feet of total living space per CubiCasa floor plan on nearly one acre, just minutes from Sinnissippi Park, Nicholas Conservatory, the Rock River bike path, and Anderson Japanese Gardens. Inside, the home features hardwood floors throughout, beautiful millwork, stained-glass details, and a remarkable collection of gathering spaces, including a grand Living room with dramatic beamed ceilings, custom built-ins, arched doorways, gas fireplace, and atrium doors to the private wooded grounds. The formal living room offers another fireplace, while the bright breakfast nook includes original built-ins, bay window, and a third main-level gas fireplace. The chef's kitchen is designed for both function and entertaining, with marble countertops and backsplash, professional-grade range with six burners and griddle, pot filler, commercial-style vent hood, warming drawer, panel-integrated refrigerator and freezer, large center island, and adjoining butler's pantry with wine refrigerator and ice maker. A richly detailed study with wood-paneled walls and ceiling, leaded glass windows, built-in desk, and bookshelves creates an ideal office or library. The expansive primary suite offers Brazilian cherry flooring, vaulted-ceiling sitting area, dramatic circular window, two-sided gas fireplace, oversized custom walk-in closet, and spa-like bath with heated floors, soaking tub, multi-head shower, and dual vanities. Additional highlights include second-floor laundry, integrated home audio, Permar monitored alarm and smoke detector system, Finnleo infrared/traditional Finnish dry sauna, third-story recreation or fitness space with new cork flooring, lower-level custom theater with 140-inch Cinemascope Stewart film screen and 7.2.2 Dolby Atmos sound, wet bar, half bath, and private guest suite. The nearly one-acre yard is framed by mature trees and includes a vegetable garden, playset, and private outdoor space, while the 3-car garage provides generous parking and storage. A new 50-year roof was completed in 2023, along with full exterior painting and new HVAC components.
