About This Home

As of March 2021

Note: This property did sell with the extra "River Lot" A LOT TO OFFER at an AFFORDABLE PRICE! You'll love the history behind this cozy cabin...it started out as a boat house and was converted into the 2 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom home that you see today. Generous sized Living Room and Eat-in Kitchen with tons of cabinets! The 1,200 sq ft home features a newer 3-season room that is insulated. Just tap into the heat and plumbing that is readily accessible and add 360 square feet of space! This home is perfectly liveable as it is...or remodel to your own taste. Newer detached oversized 2-car garage (24x30). The outbuilding (stick built) is 30x50, cedar sided (lower portion of boards need to be replaced) with overhang and cement apron / porch area. Originally used as a horse barn; Inside is an area that was designed to be a wash rack (needs finishing), tack room, and room for 3 stalls plus storage, hay lofts, electric and water. All of this sits on 2.5 wooded acres at the end of a dead-end street. Conveniently located in unincorporated McHenry County between McHenry and Crystal Lake. Zoned Residential. Roof on all buildings is less than 10 years old. Tons of Potential here. Be sure to see the 3D tour! Sells "As-Is". WAIT...THERE COULD BE MORE...WANT FOX RIVER FRONTAGE AND ACCESS TO THE CHAIN OF LAKES? Seller also owns a parcel across the street that is not buildable, but would give you river access. Make it your weekender / vacation home.
