This beautifully updated home offers the perfect blend of contemporary upgrades and recreational opportunities right in your own backyard. Boasting 5 spacious bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, this home has been thoughtfully renovated to provide comfort and style.

With room for all your watercrafts and toys-boat, jet skis, kayaks, rowboat, or snowmobiles-this home offers endless outdoor enjoyment year-round. Summer invites boating, fishing, and exploring waterfront dining and shopping along the channel, while winter brings ice skating in Downtown McHenry, snowmobiling, ice-fishing, and cozying up by the two wood-burning fireplaces. This home has been meticulously updated with high-quality finishes, including a newly resinous flake system basement floor with freshly painted foundation walls and a professionally blacked-out ceiling. The entire home has been freshly painted with premium-grade finishes, and the roof and siding were replaced approximately 7 years ago. The boiler system was upgraded in 2016, including a full copper replacement for the radiant heaters and is zoned to allow custom comfort within the zones of the home. Additional updates include luxury Lifeproof vinyl plank flooring throughout both the first and second floors, new waterlines, valves, and plumbing, and toilets. The kitchen boasts modern butcher-block stained countertops, an oversized stainless steel sink, refinished custom kitchen cabinets, and all-new appliances. The laundry room features a beautiful bench and counter with a new deep sink, new washer and dryer and space to hang and store your items neatly. Step outside through the brand-new slider (with blinds inside) to your expansive 600-square-foot deck, which includes footings for a gazebo, and enjoy updated professional landscaping that enhances the home's curb appeal and outdoor space.  Some additional features of this exceptional property include: a brick front exterior, a two-car garage, and a large driveway with space for 8 additional cars (or a combination of cars and watercrafts). The fenced yard includes an entertainment area and a separate fenced storage area for privacy. The property also offers three large docks with electric power for waterfront recreation, a gas line ready for a future pool or hot tub, fruit trees, a grapevine, an underground water system from the river, and gutter guards. Every bedroom includes a brand new window air conditioner that allows for custom comfort for each individual bedroom. Located in the heart of McHenry, this home is conveniently situated across from a neighborhood playground, basketball courts, baseball fields, and is a very short distance to the revitalized Downtown McHenry, offering shopping, dining, the Riverwalk, and entertainment.
