About This Home

SBR - Got a thing for cozy vibes, countryside views, and the occasional impromptu trip to Walmart? This 2-bedroom, 1-bath Ranch might just be your happily-ever-after hideaway. Inside, hardwood floors stretch through every room, and the eat-in kitchen is complete with vinyl floor & vintage knotty pine cabinets that practically begs for pancake breakfasts and coffee-fueled conversations. The 1-car attached garage keeps you dry on rainy days, while the unfinished lower level (with a trustworthy 2021 drain tile upgrade) is a blank canvas for your big ideas. Out front, you’ll enjoy front-row seats to Searles Recreation Park and Canine Corners Dog Park—perfect if you’ve got a four-legged best friend or just like watching happy pups do zoomies. Rockford BMX is just around the corner, and you’re a quick drive to Walmart for last-minute snack runs. Comfortable, charming, and just traditional enough to make you smile—this one’s ready for you.
