A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship & Character in the Heart of Churchill's Grove. Step into a living piece of Rockford's history with this extraordinary Prairie/Craftsman estate, nestled on a tree-lined street in the much sought-after Churchill's Grove neighborhood. Built in 1909 by prominent Rockford attorney R.K. Welsh and once home to Rockford's first Catholic bishop, this distinguished 5-bedroom, 5-bath (three full, and two 1/2) residence blends timeless architectural beauty with modern comforts across more than 5,000 square feet of meticulously maintained living space. From the rich wood detailing and original fireplaces, every inch of this home radiates character. The impressive foyer leads into spacious formal living and dining rooms ideal for entertaining, while beautifully restored millwork and built-ins honor the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The renovated chef's kitchen is a showstopper, featuring handcrafted custom cabinetry by skilled local artisans, a professional Blue Star gas range, honed granite countertops, concealed high-end appliances, and a functional yet elegant design built for everyday cooking and hosting. The expansive primary suite is your sanctuary, complete with a fireplace, dressing room, and a restored en-suite bath. The additional bedrooms upstairs share a jack-and-jill bath. There is also a flex room currently used as a sauna room, and a large space set up as a home gym. The finished lower level offers a fully self-contained living area with a second kitchen, bedroom with connected half bath, family room, and another full bath-ideal for guests, in-laws, or multi-generational living. The .38-acre lot is a private retreat featuring mature landscaping with a new irrigation system, a koi pond, a brick patio and driveway, a playhouse, and a rare 4.5-car garage with 2 additional storage rooms attached. Just minutes away from parks, riverfront rec paths, and downtown Rockford. 1704 National Ave isn't just a home-it's a statement of legacy, craftsmanship, and enduring quality. Properties of this caliber rarely come available.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
