Stone Farmhouse & Spacious Outbuildings on 3.82 +/- Acres

Property Description

Step back in time with this historic stone farmstead situated on 3.82 +/- acres in the scenic countryside of Stephenson County, Illinois. Located along Pearl City Road, just west of Freeport, this property combines the architectural character of a late-1800s farmhouse with the practical advantages of substantial outbuildings and room to enjoy rural living.

The centerpiece of the property is a two-story limestone farmhouse featuring approximately 1,950 square feet of living space, five bedrooms, and one full bathroom. The main floor includes a kitchen situated in an addition to the original home, a living area with a wood-burning stove, a bedroom, and a full bathroom. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms provide plenty of flexibility for sleeping quarters, home offices, or other uses. Original architectural details, including decorative woodwork, a beautiful wooden staircase, deep-set windows, and traditional flooring, reflect the home's history. While the interior retains many older finishes, it offers an opportunity for a future owner to make updates while preserving its historic character. A full basement and rear deck provide additional utility.

Beyond the residence, the property's outbuildings offer considerable versatility. An approximately 30'×60' traditional barn features a haymow and a metal roof in good condition. An approximately 34'×52' Quonset-style building provides additional enclosed space with a concrete floor, interior lighting, and overhead doors at both ends, making it particularly useful for equipment, vehicles, recreational toys, or workshop needs. A detached garage provides additional storage.

The surrounding 3.82 +/- acres feature an established yard, mature trees, and open space, with productive agricultural farmland extending across the neighboring countryside. The property offers opportunities for gardening, hobbies, storage, and other rural pursuits, subject to applicable regulations.
With its historic stone construction, attractive countryside setting, and collection of functional outbuildings, this Stephenson County farmstead offers a unique opportunity for buyers seeking a property with character, space, and potential.
