Property Description

Imagine relaxing to sunlight dancing across the Fox River from your private 30x14 deck with glass railings that seem to disappear into the splendid water and nature views of the river and conservation land where beyond are ever-changing sunsets over the waterfront and natural shoreline. This stunning vintage style American Craftsman riverfront gem blends timeless charm with modern luxury, featuring an expertly renovated gourmet kitchen and dining room with original decorative fireplace that flows seamlessly into open updated living spaces. The main floor is a masterpiece of thoughtful design from the serene living room to the dedicated office space and sun-drenched sunroom all featuring gorgeous river views, where every corner invites you to relax and unwind, to the heart of the home and stunning new dream kitchen offering a complete makeover including gorgeous cabinetry, amazing island, natural stone counters, cozy window seat and stainless-steel appliances including a commercial style Thor range... not to mention the wide plank wood flooring inviting you into the spacious dining room, plus the welcoming foyer, designer laundry room and beautifully remodeled full bathroom. Upstairs, four generous bedrooms provide the perfect retreat, complemented by the beauty of a newly remodeled full bath and the character of original built-in hallway cabinetry and transom windows above the doors. Vintage charm is evident throughout the spacious primary bedroom with more than ample closet space, to the second bedroom with walk-in cedar closet and generous third bedroom... both offering window seats and river views and continuing to the fourth bedroom with shiplap walls. Recent years have transformed this historic property into a modern marvel. From the sleek metal roof to the brand-new water softener, with so much more in between, every update tells a story of careful stewardship. Recent updates include new carpet on stairs and hallway (3/2025), new water softener and first floor humidifier (3/2024), exterior paint on house and garage (6/2022), new water heater, foyer and first floor bathroom remodel (2022), living room fireplace updates including new insert, igniter and stone (12/2021), new main level windows (8/2021), living room, office area and sun room remodel and new main level furnace (2021), sump pump (3/2020), kitchen, dining room and laundry room remodel (2020), metal roof installation (11/2017), new furnace and second floor central air added (2017) and additional garage improvements of new roof, windows, interior lighting, garage door opener, service door, gutters and downspouts (6/2024) and new overhead garage door (11/2021). This home isn't just about looks - it's about good bones and was built to last circa 1920. The concrete seawall, permanent pier and sand bottom shore make water front living a breeze. Better yet, you can rest easy knowing you're safely above flood plain, located on the widest and calmest part of the upper Fox River, and you have easy access to downtown McHenry and the Riverwalk for docks, dining and entertainment. Continue north up the Fox River to the entire Chain O'Lakes for more boating and entertainment opportunities. Multiple Offers Received - Highest & Best Due by 6pm 03-24-25
