Lovely Century-Old Five Bedroom Rockford Home For Under $40,000

It's not often you can find a century-old starter home.

It's also not often where you'll find a century-old home priced as low as this one.

When the place comes with as many bedrooms listed, it might not qualify as a starter when I think about it.

Then again, this place, priced at $39,900, is too good a deal to pass up.

This house put a smile on my face. Certainly not for the crime rate, but for the inviting front porch, hardwood floors, beamed ceiling, 5-panel doors, arched doorways and that amazing floor-to-ceiling original kitchen cupboard! When I saw what’s in the basement, I even let out an, 'Awww.'

The home is nearly 1800 square feet but sits on a 6500 square foot lot. Along with the five bedrooms and a bath, there's a large basement and what appears to be an attic.

Realtor:

Lovely hardwood floors through most of main level and lots of windows for beautiful natural light. The striking living room features wood beams on the ceiling.

Right now, it's a big-time seller's market, and it looks like this home is being vastly undervalued. If you're looking for a place, even just to fix and flip, you could do way worse than this property.
