    Make us an offer! All reasonable offers will be considered!!! Country Living with Modern Comfort There’s something special about this place—something you feel the moment you arrive. Maybe it’s the quiet, the trees, or the prairie grasses swaying in the breeze. Maybe it’s the hummingbirds in the pollinator garden or the peaceful view from the screened porch. Whatever it is, this place feels like home. Set on 5 private acres in the Meridian School District, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath ranch blends country charm with modern convenience. From the fully remodeled kitchen to the wood-burning fireplace, every detail was chosen for comfort, family, and everyday life. ? Thoughtfully Updated This isn’t a flip—it’s a well-loved home. The kitchen was completely remodeled in 2025 with semi-custom Birch cabinets, soft-close drawers, quartz counters, and new GE appliances. A large window over the sink overlooks the backyard. New luxury vinyl plank floors (installed May 2025) and Pergo in all bedrooms make this home family-friendly and easy to maintain. The semi-open floor plan keeps the charm of a classic ranch while improving flow between the kitchen, dining, living, and family rooms. ?? Cozy Where It Counts The main family room features an upgraded wood-burning insert with a blower—strong enough to heat the front of the house on the coldest nights. Downstairs, the partially finished basement includes a second fireplace, large rec room, second kitchen, and 2 non-conforming bedrooms (one easily made egress-compliant). The unfinished space offers plenty of storage. ?? Reliable Systems The home is on a private 200-foot well that has never run dry. A new well pump was installed in April 2025. It also includes a whole-house water softener and filter system professionally installed and maintained by Mr. Goodwater—built to support a large family. The septic system is well-maintained and reliable. ??? Outside Features Attached 3-car garage Pole barn (great for RVs, boats, or rental income) New roof, gutters, and downspouts (2025) Screened-in back porch—a perfect spot for dinners, drinks, or morning coffee Pollinator garden full of blooms, butterflies, and bees Nearly 1 acre of restored native prairie that glows golden in fall Mature trees line the property and fence rows, giving you privacy and a sense of calm. Neighbors are nearby if needed—but far enough that you can sit in silence and just breathe. ?? Location, Location Located just minutes from Route 20, you can enjoy the best of both worlds: easy access to Rockford and nearby towns, with the peace of rural living. The home is in the highly-rated Meridian School District and carries a Stillman Valley address. We’re only moving due to a job relocation. If we could take this home with us, we would. It’s warm, welcoming, and ready for its next chapter. Come walk the prairie. Step inside. Feel the peace. You’ll know—it’s home.
