A piece of Rochelle's architectural history has changed hands. The single-family residence located at 822 North 12th Street was sold on January 12 for a final price of $128,000. This translates to approximately $123 per square foot for the well-established property.

The home presents a classic American foursquare design, a style popular in the early 20th century known for its efficient, boxy footprint and comfortable living spaces. Built over a century ago in 1915, the house offers 1,040 square feet of living area. It features three bedrooms and one full bathroom, situated on a generous lot.

While the interior maintains a traditional layout, the property includes practical updates for modern living, including a relatively new roof installed just four years ago. The sale highlights the continued demand for solid, historic homes in established neighborhoods, offering character and space at an accessible price point. The transaction was handled smoothly, marking a new chapter for both the property and its new owners.
