Rare French Eclectic gem in Watch Hill - one of only three in Rock Island. Tucked into one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods, this distinctive home sits on a very private lot surrounded by mature trees and wildlife, with Black Hawk State Historic Site just beyond. Watch Hill's rolling hills, curving streets, and generous lots have long drawn people who want space, quiet, and character - and this property delivers all three. What you'll love* Architecture that stands out. True French Eclectic style (steep roofs, distinctive detailing) - a rarity here. Only three examples exist in Rock Island.* Major updates already done. Exterior tuck-pointed and freshly painted in 2024. New roof (2020). Completely remodeled kitchen with Cafe range, refrigerator, and microwave (2021). Fully remodeled primary bath (2021). New HVAC/heat-pump system. * Two fireplaces - wood-burning now, already plumbed for easy gas conversion.* Finished living space that keeps growing. Largely finished basement plus a walk-up attic. Extra outdoor living with a walk-out patio over the garage.* Easy outdoor living. In-ground pool, backyard irrigation system, and Invisible Fence covering both front and back yards. Outdoor play set included. The lot feels secluded yet convenient. The pool will need a new liner for the coming season. The sellers are willing to negotiate this at closing so the next owners can finish it exactly the way they want. This is the kind of house people drive through Watch Hill hoping to find - private, updated where it counts, and full of the character that newer construction can't copy. Come see it before someone else does.
