FOR SALE BY OWNER in Rockford: I am the owner of a Single Bedroom/Single Bathroom Condo at 236 Northway Park Road in Machesney Park, IL with approximately 700 square feet of living space. I am asking $42,900. I have owned this condo for 4 years and have made countless upgrades. I am very meticulous about it! Here are a few features:

Nice Direct View of the Rock River (the ability to drop off/pickup by boat is available)
Brand New Pella Sliding Door Leading to a 2nd Level Balcony Facing the River
Brand New Triple Window Unit at Entrance of Condo (w/ Warranty)
Tile Floor throughout Except in Bedroom which has Frieze Carpet
Brand New Energy Efficient Frigidaire Wall Air Conditioner with Remote and Auto Shutoff (keeps Condo Ice Cold in Summer!)
Brand New Main Condo Entrance Door with Newer Screen Door
Brand New Countertops in Kitchen
Brand New Kitchen Sink and Faucet
Brand New FULLY Remodeled Bathroom (Brand New Tile Floor, Newer Toilet, Newer Sink, Brand New Tub/Shower Surround, Newer Medicine Cabinet with Mirror and Storage)
Brand New Door to the Bedroom
Brand New Doors on the Bathroom and 2 Closets
Brand New Custom Shelving by Spectrum Building Products (triples the amount of space for storage and bedroom closet space)
Brand New Dishwasher with Nylon Inserts
Newer Refrigerator
Newer Stove
Fans in Eating Area and Kitchen
Brand New Woodwork throughout Most of the Condo
Outside of Condo is Brick

Outside parking available for 2 vehicles (passenger vehicles only). If you own a boat or camper, there is a lot next door for which spots can be rented on a monthly basis. ($15/month I believe is the price if needed)

Gas Hot Water Heat: Basically, this means you do not have a furnace. The entire complex is heated through a vented water heat system that keeps the condo plenty warm in the winter and the usage price and maintenance is included in the $125/month condo dues. This is a MAJOR cost savings.

Snow plowing, garbage, and water are also included in the $125/month condo dues.

LOW Electricity Usage: My typical monthly ComEd bill ranges from about $30 to $40 in the winter and up to about $100 in the summer when I use the air conditioning almost non-stop.

I have access to 2 additional storage units in the basement of the condo complex. I usually store paint, boxes, furniture, and other belongings in these units. The new owner will have access to these as well.

Laundry is available in the basement next to the storage units mentioned above.

The Machesney Park police station is within walking distance. Also within walking distance is the old Machesney Park Mall, which now offers JC Penney, Bergners, and Big Lots. A Burger King and Bank are also within walking distance.

Cats are allowed. Dogs cannot live in the building, regardless of their size.

Taxes are under $500/year.

I do not smoke in the condo.

If I could summarize this condo with a single statement, I would say that it is extremely inexpensive and low maintenance to own and has a vacation home feel because of the nice view of the rock river and surroundings. I work from home, and this condo has been a pleasure to spend most of my time.
