Prime Downtown Rockford Gem: Iconic Irish Rose Building with C4 Zoning, Ample Parking, and Unbeatable Walkability The 4100 SF structure includes two apartments above the restaurant and a basement.

The two-bedroom unit features a large living room, kitchen, bathroom, and an additional room that can be used as a bedroom or office. Restaurant and Bar The ground-floor space is fully equipped with a kitchen line, a walk-in cooler, and a full-service bar-perfect for a new concept or revival of the restaurant.
