Property Description
LOCATION AND LIFESTYLE! Ideally situated next to McCullom Lake's East Beach Park, you can just step out to your backyard and enjoy the playground, swimming beach, fishing, or ice skating in the winter. Also within steps is Petersen Park, offering a lifeguarded beach, boat launch, playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts, baseball fields, bike paths, and hosting McHenry's most beloved events, including Fiesta Days and the McHenry Music Festival. The home itself is TOTALLY impressive. Completely renovated by a local master builder, every detail has been thoughtfully updated, resulting in over 2,600 square feet of finished living space and a flexible floor plan with 3 bedrooms upstairs and 2 on the main level. The home includes 2 full bathrooms, a 3-season room, a 2-car garage with a large attached workshop, as well as a darling shed-perfect for hobbies, storage, or extra workspace. Quality is evident throughout, with extensive updates including a new roof, siding, gutters, exterior doors (on the home, garage, and shed), new kitchen and appliances, updated bathrooms, all new electrical and plumbing fixtures, high-end vinyl flooring, plush carpeting, doors, trim, paint, lighting, and custom closet organizers. Nearly all Pella windows have been replaced, along with new attic insulation, new furnace, A/C, and water heater. The finished basement adds even more versatility with a spacious workshop and abundant storage. Outside, enjoy fresh landscaping with mulch and beautiful perennials, plus new epoxy flooring in the garage. Situated on 1/3 of an acre, with no one behind you or to one side - wonderful privacy! This home is close to PERFECTION, and an EXTREMELY UNIQUE opportunity to upgrade your family's lifestyle to FUN!!
