About This Home

As of May 2025

REACTIVATED DUE TO BUYER NOT ABLE TO GET FINANCING - Their loss is YOUR GAIN! Great home for 1st Time Buyer or Downsizer! Located in desirable Pistakee Highlands neighborhood where anglers/boaters will find many boat launches in channels that lead to Pistakee Lake which connects to the Chain-of-Lakes. Enjoy sunsets from large recently replaced front deck of this charming ranch with full basement and super cute wood-paneled 3-season room where summer sunrises with a cup of coffee will become your favor time of the day. This home has recently received several MAJOR updates - new siding, front deck, front door and garage door (2024); interior doors (2023); new windows (2016); kitchen & bath update/refresh (2014-2020). Owner has invested a total 75K in renovations. Except for the kitchen/bath the entire home has original hardwood floors. Kitchen features white cabinets, SS appliances, butcher block laminate countertops, shiplap accent wall and vinyl plank flooring. Laundry space with double utility sink is located in large full unfinished basement which has so many possibilities for new owner. Fully fenced backyard is perfect for outdoor entertainment and fun! Located in the Johnsburg school district yet you take advantage of low property taxes of unincorporated McHenry. Conveniently located near shopping, schools and Metra stations. Historic downtown McHenry has riverfront restaurant/shops and check out neighboring Lakefront Park's revamped bandshell on Fox Lake for summer concerts and tons of outdoor fun. Roof is older but seller has not had any issues with it.
