Comfort and peace will come to those who choose to live in this rare find. This 3,335SF home is turn key and worry free where the base work has all been replaced. The owners have started to prepare this home for endurance through their retirement. The work and expense has been significant, and will provide peace of mind to the new owners, as they can apply their own fine finishes where needed. Heating and Air Conditioning units, hot water tank, and water softener have been replaced. The driveway is brand new with 4″ compaction under the asphalt to support camper or heavy boats. The roof was replaced 12 years ago. The rooms that have been updated, remodeled, refurbished or refinished include the basement, the guest bathroom, the laundry room, utility room, the front door and entryway and drywall finishes to the garage. The wonderful qualities of this home include the amount of space and the total room count. It is rare to find houses that hold this many rooms and each room being a very large space! Another unique quality is this custom home neighborhood, itself. This .93 acre property is located on the side of the subdivision where the canopy of trees and amount of forest is what makes this a pleasant neighborhood. The neighborhood is unincorporated McHenry County with an equestrian farm across the road, and an outdoor theater at the corner. The home has 5 bedrooms, where four beds are on the upper floor, with one bedroom in the finished English basement for guests or mother in-law arrangement. There is a large, sprawling deck to the back of the house, which extends to the large patio on the wooded side of the house and family room. The family room features a wood burning fireplace and two six foot patio doors for enjoying nature, in comfort, regardless of season. The future of this home is one that will bring peace to the new occupants. Not only due to the base mechanicals and items being replaced, remodeled and freshened up, but because of the neighborhood, and particularly where this home is positioned in this neighborhood. The next homeowners will experience the benefits of comfort and peace that come with this home, while city of McHenry continues to grow our homes’ equity and our community strong and exciting with that new Riverwalk and downtown nightlife!
