About This Home

As of February 2026

Charming older 2-story home located in the heart of Belvidere, close to schools, the community building, restaurants, and with easy access to main roads. This home offers great curb appeal with a covered front porch, a classic brick fireplace, arched doorways, and a separate dining room with built-in features. The efficient kitchen makes excellent use of space, and upstairs you’ll find three bedrooms and a remodeled bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower. The unique two-story garage, sometimes referred to as a coach house, offers additional potential. Roof replaced in 2021. Washer and dryer included.
