Property Description

Experience the perfect blend of 19th-century soul and 21st-century efficiency with a step back in time without sacrificing modern amenities. The Smyth-Jackson House, a crown jewel of Rock Island's Historic Broadway District, is a meticulously restored 1868 Italianate style home, ready for its next chapter. Marvel at 9-foot+ ceilings, original floor-to-ceiling windows, and hard wood floors. The iconic tower has been fully rebuilt, featuring a reconstructed curved stairway leading to a cozy reading nook with panoramic neighborhood views. Chef's quality kitchen is fully updated with quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting with space for a breakfast table in a sunlight space. Modern Comfort includes three updated bathrooms and a spacious layout designed for entertaining. A newer, oversized 2-car garage features loft storage and solar panels, keeping utility costs remarkably low for a home of this stature. Professionally designed, period-friendly landscaping ensures this estate shines year-round.
