A sun filled 3 season porch welcomes you to this charming 3 bedroom bungalow in the convenient Rural Oaks neighborhood. The open living and dining area offers a flexible layout you can design to fit your lifestyle. The main floor features two bedrooms and a full bath with a private entrance to the bath from the primary. Off the primary is a bonus space that is perfect for an office, nursery, or hobby room. The second floor could be a 3rd bedroom or another flexible space. Outside you will find a fenced yard, covered patio, and rare bonus: two detached 2 car garages offering room for up to 3 vehicles plus a workshop area! NOT the norm in this location! Furnace & AC new in 2026. Roof & siding in 2023/2024. Property is in good condition, but is an estate and being sold As-Is. A unique opportunity with room to grow both inside and out!
North Highland Square, located between North Main Street and North Second Street, is a residential and commercial Rockford neighborhood with early-20th-century streetscapes and a compact, walkable grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the North Main Street corridor near Auburn Street, where corner storefronts, casual eateries, and service shops set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Housing leans toward classic Midwestern forms—bungalows, two-stories, and brick walk-ups—framed by mature trees and small front lawns. Rockford University adds a collegiate edge through nearby campus greens and events. For a local night out, The Olympic Tavern and Prairie Street Brewing Co. anchor the city’s independent food-and-drink scene. Nicholas Conservatory & Gardens and the Rock River paths shape weekend routines with greenhouse warmth and waterfront walks.
