Overview

Here is your chance to own a piece to Ashton history! The freshly painted front porch brightens the only home in the County designed by the renowned Rockford architect Jesse Barloga.

Situated just two blocks from AFC Middle/High School, the home boasts three bedrooms and 1 full bath, offering 1,880 square feet of living space. Most of the original features remain intact, including a spacious living room with a working gas fireplace, a large dining room, and an updated kitchen featuring new cabinets and countertops. There is also a delightful breakfast nook situated between the kitchen and dining room, equipped with a swinging butler's door. A staircase trimmed in walnut leads to the second floor, where you'll find a charming three-season sun porch complete with original accordion windows that open to a western view. Three bedrooms, and spacious closet and full bath complete the upstairs. The basement includes an unfinished half bath, along with a large laundry room, canning room, furnace room, and coal room, all built with sturdy brick.
