5 Bedroom House in Berwick

This large timberframe home is an ideal country getaway in a private peaceful location (surrounded by 120 acres of woods, valley, grass, and farm ground). Enjoy beautiful views from the spacious kitchen, large living areas, deck, or screened-in porch. Spend time outdoors with walking trails, large playground, basketball hoop, large grass areas for sports, and hills for sledding. Located: 20 minutes from Monmouth, IL; 25 minutes from Galesburg, IL; and 35 minutes from Macomb, IL.
You will have the entire house to yourself. This timberframe home is 4,500 sq ft and was built on the top of a hill overlooking a valley and woods. It was built with reclaimed barn beams from one of my great Grandpa's barns and insulated concrete walls surrounding most of the house. The home has a whole house audio system with speakers in different locations on the upper level and main level. You can connect your own mp3 player or phone to play music in several rooms or use our CD player to play CDs from a large classical music collection.
The main level has 1800 sq ft of living space. The master bedroom is located on this level and has a king size bed, walk-in closet, and master bathroom with a shower and a whirlpool tub. There is also a small bedroom with 2 toddler beds and a large pack 'n play that can be used as a crib. Besides the bedrooms, there is also a large modern kitchen, mudroom, laundry room, 1/2 bathroom, and large living/dining area with wood burning fireplace and vaulted ceiling that is 30 ft to the peak of the roof. From the open living/dining area, you can walk out to a screened-in porch that overlooks the valley. This entire main level is accessible from the garage with no steps required.
On the upper level, there is 900 sq ft of living space. There is a bathroom with a shower. Next to the bathroom are two different bedrooms. Both bedrooms are enclosed with a door and walls, but two of the walls do not go completely to the vaulted ceiling. Please see pictures. One bedroom has a queen size bed, desk and dresser. The other bedroom has a queen size bed, chair, and dresser. There is also a loft reading area with a large selection of books and another open room on the east side of the house with a table and older TV with a dvd player.
The lower level is a partially finished 1800 sq ft walk-out basement with a large bedroom with 4 twin beds, walk-in closet, bathroom with tub/shower, large play room with toys and mini basketball hoops, and large room with couches, TV, music keyboard, and games/puzzles. The storage room is locked and not available for use. From the walk-out basement, you can access a concrete patio which is underneath the screened-in porch. There is an outdoor fire pit near the patio.
Our property has a variety of things to do outside: deck with Traeger wood pellet grill, screened-in porch, outdoor fire pit, trails through the woods, large playground equipment, large grass areas to play soccer/kickball/football/baseball, large concrete area with basketball hoop, and hills for sledding.
Various wildlife, such as deer and turkey, have been seen while on the property. The house and property are very peaceful and quiet due to its remote location. It is between 15 - 30 miles to Monmouth, Galesburg, or Macomb. Please note that the property is located on a county maintained gravel road. We also have an outdoor security camera to monitor the front door area.

Reviews

Darcy N. Jun 16, 2025 08:31:10 PM
Summary: We had a group of eight adults staying at this property. We very much enjoyed the amount of space and beautiful outdoor surroundings. Mornings in the screened in porch were a great way to start the day. It is definitely rural and you pass through many corn fields to reach the property. The acoustics of the house are a bit noisy in that you can hear what is happening in the main part of the house from the bedrooms above and below. Although we didn't have any young children in our group, there are many amenities for young children. We arranged for a meat delivery from the VRBO owners brother and that was excellent. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

Summary: Beautiful family home located out in the country. House was fully loaded with kitchen items. Plenty of towels. Beds were very comfortable and the view was awesome.

Summary: We had three families stay at the property and the rest of the family came on Christmas Day. The house is very nice and it worked for us. Nice kitchen and big open great room. The kids loved the basement area to play. The room upstairs was also very good for the kids to play games. The property is beautiful, very quiet private setting. We would definitely , rent this property again. Communication with Jen was good, she responded quickly.

Summary: This is a very nice home with all the amenities one could want. Peaceful country, living with a very spacious setting plenty of room for our party of eight.
Darren K. Oct 28, 2024 02:43:25 AM
Summary: Rustic farmhouse!! Nice original barn timbers and beautiful remodel.
Rene H. Oct 22, 2024 02:20:58 AM
Summary: This was a perfect place for us to get together to travel to Galesburg to settle our father's estate. Everything was wonderful plus watching the deer and beautiful countryside in the morning provided a sense of calm for us. We are all over 60 and the beds were very comfortable. The only reccomendation we would suggest is handrails going upstairs to the 2 bedrooms. We wished we had more time to spend in the library and the game room.
Bobbi P. Oct 7, 2024 02:02:14 AM
Summary: Home and location were absolutely perfect! Looking forward to staying again!
