Before and After: 1958 Mid Century Modern in Rockford, Illinois
LISTING DETAILS
Designed by Naples architects Todd and Weisman, this mid century modern home was built for Rockford icon, Mr. Seth Atwood II, and his young family in the late 1950s. Taking 2 years to build, its infrastructure is all steel beamed with many walls and fossilized limestone floors from a dry Texas lake bed which Mr. Atwood mined and shipped to Rockford. The home showcases classic characteristics of its style including a clean, minimalist aesthetic, the presence of angular structures, and an emphasis to bring the outdoors in. Let the front Loggia welcome you into this prime home on the Rock River, where you will be entertained by its use of exotic woods, shoji doors, private courtyards, built in seating and specialty cabinets, riverfront decks, boat dock and indoor pool, complete with cabana style bathrooms. This recently renovated and restored home understands its history yet brings a modern mix to this historic Rockford gem.
