If you are a lover of all things retro, wait until you see the inside of this awesomely unique and massive home for sale right now in Rockford, Illinois!

Unique Mid-Century Home for Sale in Rockford, Illinois

Today I came across a home listed for sale on Newburg Rd. in Rockford that I have driven by no less than a million times and have always wondered what it looked like inside.

Let me tell you, I never imagined it would look like this...

or this...

or THIS...

While my home design and decor tastes tend to lean toward the "modern Farmhouse" side, I can certainly appreciate this home for its dedication and upkeep of mid-century fabulousness!

Here are some things about this home at 6151 Newburg Rd. in Rockford that I think make it one heck of an appealing find:

• The custom-built two story house sits on 3.5 acres.
• It has four bedrooms,  four and a half bathrooms, and three fireplaces.
• It has an attached 2-car garage, another detached 2-car cottage-style garage, and a separate log cabin that was mainly used as a playhouse!

The listing also says;

Interior highlights include a grand semi-spiral staircase, a private home library/office, a sunken living room with a stone fireplace, an adjoining music room, and a sun-filled dining room with bucolic views.

This home is being sold as-is and is listed for $499,000, BUT the big question is...if you bought this house would you totally gut and update it, OR would you leave it exactly the way it is?

I would be tempted to leave it because it feels like I just walked into my grandmas old house.
