Check out this classic two-story Rockford home featuring several major mechanical updates already completed for peace of mind. Recent improvements include the roof (2021), gutters (2021), central A/C (2021), furnace (2019), and main sewer line from the home to the city connection (2022). Inside, you’ll find hardwood floors and plenty of character throughout. Outside, the property offers a fenced backyard and a one-car garage off the alley. The kitchen and bath could benefit from cosmetic updates, and the home is priced accordingly. Currently tenant-occupied on a month-to-month lease at $1,000 per month. Due to the tenant’s schedule, all showings must take place on weekends. "Agent Owned"
