About this property

Cerca de todas las atracciones del centro, ¡un refugio espacioso!
Escape to a quiet retreat in Rockford at this superb villa, ideally situated near downtown for both business and pleasure seekers. This elegant Italian Renaissance villa, exuding stately presence and curb appeal, was designed in the 1920s by renowned architect Jesse Barloga. Nestled in the quiet, historic tree-lined neighborhood of Brown Hills, surrounded by iconic residences, and close to the Rock River and Rockford city, our location offers easy access to numerous attractions.

The villa features 4 bedrooms—3 with queen beds and 1 with a queen bunk bed—providing ample space for you and your guests. There are 4 bathrooms for convenience, along with an additional office space and a twin bed for those needing to catch up on work. Enjoy modern amenities such as WiFi, laundry facilities, AC, and more, ensuring a comfortable stay. Recently beautifully renovated, the villa comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests.

This three-story home includes a large queen bedroom in the newly finished basement with a separate TV viewing area, along with 3 bedrooms and a separate office suite on the second floor. The master bathroom features a full bath and separate shower, with a half bath on the main level and a large walk-in shower in the basement. The kitchen's breakfast area offers patio and garden views, with Dutch doors leading to an outdoor seating area featuring a table, chairs, and BBQ grill. The kitchen itself is equipped with a stove, dishwasher, gas range, microwave, French door refrigerator with ice maker, granite countertops, and professional-grade appliances. The dining room comfortably seats 8-10 people, while the living room features a cozy sofa and fireplace, with Roku access. Unique Barloga-designed round doors in the living room lead to a beautiful outdoor covered loggia/porch area with garden views.

Additional features include an electric car charger for eco-conscious travelers, a bar and coffee bar area, smart TVs, an arcade game, and board games for entertainment. Outside, relax around the fire pit or in our comfortable seating areas, perfect for enjoying the outdoors in comfort. With spacious living areas and a welcoming patio, our villa is designed for relaxation and enjoyment. Central air and heating ensure year-round comfort.
