Property Description

Just on the edge of the city of McHenry, a quiet subdivision of custom homes has a park like setting on a beautiful tree lined road that leads to this 3,338SF quad level home offering lots of space, peace and quiet, and peace of mind. Major mechanical equipment has been changed out. This property sits under a canopy of trees on .93 acres with .25 of it being your own private wooded forest. There are 14 rooms including the foyer and laundry room. This home is perfect for an active family offering 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. Privacy, peace of mind and quiet enjoyment is the result of living in this solidly built custom home. Plenty of space for a family to play, grow up, spread out and entertain. The current owners raised their large family here for over 20 years and have contributed to the community and region in grace, health and business. Upon driving up, you will notice the driveway was fully replaced with new asphalt (2024). Entering the new front entry door, a gracious entryway has been refinished for welcoming daylight and guests. Proving privacy, the dynamic foyer is separated by French doors to a huge 23'x12' living room that brings in civil outdoors with a 12' floor-to-ceiling bow window. Between the kitchen and living room is the formal 12'x12' dining room with room to expand for all of your guests. Step forward from the entryway to the brightly lit and inviting eat- in kitchen for everyday meals. The yard and three tier deck is viewable through the patio door, to encourage drinks and meals enjoyed on the deck in natural settings and landscape. For those of us who like to cook, this kitchen provides a gas range, over-the-range microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, a large pantry, plenty of cabinetry and countertop space needed to work and store all food and kitchen items. The countertop peninsula invites visitors to spend time while cooking. The steps leading up at the entryway, will take you to the four large private bedrooms and the full hallway bathroom. The large master bedroom has a 7'x6' seating area, 3 separate closet spaces, as well as its own private full master bathroom. The steps leading down from the entryway will take you to the (2.5 car) garage entry door and the fully remodeled guest powder room and custom walk-in shower at the foot of the steps. Continue forward and the large 21'x13' family room where two 6' patio doors offer natural views off of the concrete patio while enjoying a warm fire from the traditional brick fireplace. A full laundry room sits just off of the family room with new flooring. The garage has double window and side entry door. Upon entering from the garage, a doorway to the English basement offers a recreational room, private bedroom, and a separate craft room. There is enough room for a theater in the main space, and seating. There is also a very clean utility room with a brand-new furnace (2024) and A/C compressor (2025), hot water tank (2021) and brand-new water softener with 3 year warranty (2026). The 21'x22' concrete crawl space is additional storage to the large 2.5 car garage and the shed in the yard making 1,000sf of storage on the property. Have a need for a guest room, an in-law or shared family space? This English basement can fit very well for parents or kids in shared living, or for private spaces for your visitors and guests. McHenry's nightlife is as charming as the families that live here. The current Mayor, administration and local business owners encourage the goodness of our community by celebrating with talented artists and entertainment brought into town. The Mayor's Summer Fest is just taking root, for incredible summer fun! That Riverwalk solidified real estate value for the entire city. We are a community with a river that runs through it. Like the family who lived here for 23 years, bring your talents, investments & businesses to McHenry. You will be thrilled you did!
