The owners had started to prepare this home for endurance through their retirement. The work and expense has been significant, providing peace of mind to the new owners, as they can apply their own fine finishes where needed. This house has guts, versus just flash and pop. The mechanicals, such as the Heating and Air Conditioning units, hot water tank, and water softener have been replaced.

The Owners are offering a gracious $3,000 credit is offered to the buyer at closing for painting and finishing to meet your own interests. Another wonderful quality of this home is the neighborhood and forest that surrounds it. It is very rare to find houses that hold this many rooms and each room being as large space as they are! This custom home neighborhood, itself positions the home to sit on a .93 acre property located on the side of the subdivision where the canopy of trees and amount of forest makes this a pleasant neighborhood. The neighborhood is unincorporated McHenry County located just east, at the threshold of the city with an equestrian farm across the road, an outdoor theater at the corner with a pond and park provided by the association.

The yard and 3-tier deck is viewable through the 6' patio door, leading to drinks and meals enjoyed on the deck in natural settings and landscape. The countertop peninsula invites visitors to spend time while working in the kitchen. or entertaining, or enjoying a morning cup, 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 city of McHenry offers the fanfare of the Riverwalk, with restaurants and businesses that have electrified and solidified the excitement for future generations. Nightlife has come to the community creating entertainment as a staple of our community. The future of this home is secured both in home equity and community, and will bring peace and comfort to the new occupants. Not only due to the base mechanicals and items being replaced, remodeled and freshened up, but due largely to the quality of the people who owned this home and the quality of people in the neighborhood.
