3a96 General Sherman Ct Apple River, IL 61001

Skip the wait, the stress, and the uncertainty of building! This beautifully crafted 2023-built home near Apple Canyon Lake offers the rare opportunity to step into like-new construction without compromise. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2,200 square feet, and a 2-car garage, this thoughtfully designed home delivers the perfect balance of modern comfort, functional space, and peaceful wooded surroundings, ideal for both full-time living and weekend escapes. From the moment you enter, the home makes an impression. A vaulted, open-concept great room with a wood-burning stove, warm knotty pine trim and classic mission-style doors throughout creates a space that feels both elevated and inviting. The layout flows seamlessly into a beautifully appointed kitchen with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an under-sink reverse osmosis system. The space is designed for both entertaining and everyday ease. One of the home's most compelling features is the enclosed family room addition, where a wall of windows frames serene wooded views and frequent visits from deer, turkey, and other wildlife, a space that quickly becomes a favorite for morning coffee or evening unwinding. The main level offers three bedrooms, including a private primary suite with a walk-in closet and an updated bath featuring a vanity that matches the kitchen cabinetry and new tile work. The walk-out lower level adds incredible flexibility with a fourth bedroom, full bath, expansive third living area, and unfinished space ready for a future bonus room, theater, or home gym. Located just a short distance from the lake with a nearby access path, and paired with the additional lot at 3A97 General Sherman Court, this property provides extra privacy, added spacing between homes, and even more opportunity to enjoy the natural setting. Opportunities like this are increasingly rare: Nearly new construction, added land, and lake proximity without the build timeline. Move in, settle in, and start enjoying lake life immediately.
