About This Home

Unique Kishwaukee River front property opportunity featuring two houses on one lot. This property offers excellent versatility and could be used as an Airbnb, a rental investment, an in-law property, or an opportunity to live in one home while renting out the other. The first home is a freshly painted, remodeled 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath ranch with an open layout. It features new vinyl flooring, new white kitchen cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and custom granite countertops. The master bedroom includes a master bath and a walk-in closet. The fireplace and cedar plank ceiling have been kept for their vintage charm, and a new sliding door leads out to a 24x12 deck overlooking the backyard. The second home is a 1-bedroom, 1-bath property with a kitchen, vaulted ceilings, and a screened-in porch. It includes a 33x16 deck overlooking the river, complete with a staircase for direct river access and a walking path leading down to the water. The property offers stunning views, a variety of wildlife, and an abundance of native plants and trees, making it perfect for kayaking, canoeing, fishing, or tubing. Built on a concrete foundation with river rocks, it also features a large basement for storage. The location offers easy access to I-90 and is close to downtown Cherry Valley, the Rockford Airport, and the Hard Rock Casino.
