About This Home

As of August 2025

Step into timeless charm with this beautifully updated and professionally staged 2-bedroom, 1-bath ranch, nestled on a spacious 0.80-acre lot surrounded by mature trees. Located just a short walk from downtown McHenry and the scenic Fox River, this home offers the perfect blend of peaceful living and convenient access to shopping, dining, and outdoor recreation. Inside, you'll find original 1940s pine floors and built-in features that add warmth and character throughout. The kitchen has been tastefully renovated with modern finishes and ample cabinetry, while the updated bathroom enhances the home's move-in-ready appeal. Large windows flood the living spaces with natural light, and the professional staging highlights the home's layout and potential, making it easy to envision your life here. The unfinished basement offers even more versatility-it's currently staged to showcase how the space can be used for additional rooms, such as a home office, guest area, or recreation space, giving you plenty of options to expand your living area. Additional highlights include a 1.5-car attached garage and a quiet, landscaped yard ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Whether you're a first-time buyer, downsizing, or looking for a weekend retreat, this home offers vintage charm with today's comforts.
