Summer afternoons by the pool. Fall mornings in the four-seasons room watching the woods change color. This 4-bedroom ranch home with over 3,700 sq ft of finished living space is located in the coveted Watch Hill Subdivision, and backs to a private wooded ravine with no rear neighbors, and nearly every window shows it off. The main level offers a formal living room with gas fireplace, formal dining room, and a bright white kitchen with granite, a center island, built-in desk, and new stainless appliances (2025). Three main-level bedrooms include the primary suite with its own bath and walk-in closet, and a paneled bedroom currently used as a den. A breezeway mudroom links the garage, kitchen, front entry, and pool patio, so everyday comings and goings are easy. Downstairs, the walkout basement family room is enormous, with a brick wood burning fireplace, built-ins, and space for big get-togethers, plus a fourth bedroom, full bathroom, and workshop. The family room has plumbing for a wet bar or small kitchen addition if desired. Recent updates include water heater (2026), furnace (2024), A/C (2023), gutters (2023), and pool pump (2022). There is an abundance of storage space throughout the home and a radon mitigation system. From quiet mornings overlooking the trees to lively gatherings indoors and out, this home offers room to make every season memorable.
Blackhawk, located between Black Hawk State Historic Site and the Rock River, is a residential and park-adjacent Rock Island neighborhood with wooded bluffs and winding streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along 11th Street by Black Hawk State Historic Site, where trailheads, picnic lawns, and river overlooks set a outdoors-forward rhythm. Housing leans toward mid-century ranches and tidy brick homes, with mature trees shaping a quiet streetscape. Black Hawk State Historic Site and the Hauberg Indian Museum anchor local culture with prairie history and exhibits. Sunset Park adds open green space and river breezes, while nearby arterials connect to Rock Island’s broader dining and arts scene.
