Stay-cation all year long in this Fox River Gem! Located in a no wake zone you can relax on your large deck off the great room or chose to be right on the water lounging on a second deck with a fire-pit and twin piers. On some nights you can hear music from the Riverwalk Gazebo which is located directly across the Fox River from the home. The McHenry Riverwalk and Downtown areas are easily accessed by foot, boat, or car. Enjoy viewing the Fox River from the primary bedroom "wall of windows" as you are lulled to sleep by the calming waters. The motorized power blinds lower over the windows with the press of a button and raise them as you awaken to the energy of a new day of Fox River living. This very large primary bedroom has a ton of character with the uniquely tiled floor, the wood burning fireplace, nice size closet, private bathroom with updated step-in tiled shower and its own exterior entrance. Entertain or relax with everyone in the great room that displays plenty of original woodwork in this 1904 home with an impressive staircase leading to bedrooms 2 and 3 with hardwood floors and another full bathroom with tub/shower combo. Both bedrooms have ample closet space and one has outside access to the flat rooftop for sunning. The kitchen is spacious with cabinets galore and an abundance of countertops and...just for fun...a hidden door that leads to the basement. There is an eating area and a passthrough peninsula to eat at or for serving your guests. A 4th bedroom and powder room are right around the corner as is the main entrance of the house with lots of storage area as well. On the way down to the basement you will find the door to the outside kennel and when you get all the way down you enter the laundry room with a 2 sink laundry tub and lots of space for easy access storage, access to mechanicals. In addition there is a crawlspace for even more storage which also has access from the outside. The detached 2 car garage has a large workshop that has a heater and a wood burning stove. The machinery inside the shop will stay. There is a gazebo beside the house to view the water and enjoy the gentle breeze and quiet activity. A garden area is near for vegetable/flower enthusiasts. There is a video security system in the house and it will stay. Electrical has been updated, HVAC is new. Too many improvements to list since the current owners bought in 2016. They really did take this home from a Diamond in the Rough to a Fox River Gem! Schedule your very own private viewing today
