About this home
Once in a lifetime opportunity... this is an INCREDIBLE DEAL!! Serene waterfront ranch set on 3.22 private, tree-lined acres, offering a rare combination of privacy, space, and access to the Chain O'Lakes through the HOA marina just down the block. Perfectly positioned on crystal clear, tranquil, swimmable Weston Lake, this property delivers the lake lifestyle buyers dream about, with the ability to secure a boat slip annually through the HOA and breathtaking water views throughout the home. A long, private driveway welcomes you in with ample parking and an attached, heated 2-car garage. This home blends modern updates with timeless design. Marvin windows, whole-home water filtration, water softener, and a Culligan reverse osmosis system servicing the kitchen sink and refrigerator add comfort, efficiency, and quality throughout. The home features two complete heating systems, including comfortable radiant heat and forced air gas heating, offering flexibility and year-round efficiency. Radiant heated floors are located in the great room, enhancing comfort in one of the home's most impressive spaces. Pergo flooring flows seamlessly throughout, adding durability and a clean, cohesive look. The living room is filled with natural light, featuring a subtle coffered ceiling, crown molding, and a wall of oversized picture windows with operable side panels that frame tranquil water views. The chef's kitchen is a true showpiece. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, it offers upgraded white cabinetry, quartz countertops, a classic subway tile backsplash, stainless range hood, gas cooktop, and double oven. The oversized island with breakfast bar creates the perfect gathering space, while a kitchen desk and a custom floor-to-ceiling pantry with dedicated coffee and serving station add both function and style. A wall of windows above the sink captures peaceful water views and fills the space with natural light. The separate dining room flows effortlessly into the stunning vaulted great room, where soaring wood-planked ceilings with exposed beams and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace create warmth and architectural impact. A wall of glass doors opens to the deck and frames panoramic water views, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Step outside to the deck overlooking the water, leading down to a brick paver patio with fire pit, perfect for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the setting year-round. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet and a beautifully appointed ensuite with dual sinks, an elegant shaker-style vanity, and a floor-to-ceiling tiled shower with bench and built-in niches. A full hallway bath features an updated vanity with marble countertops, rich cabinetry, and designer finishes. Additional highlights include a spacious laundry room with cabinetry and sink, plus a finished basement rec room with abundant storage, workspace, and a second washer and dryer. Enjoy the best of both worlds with peaceful waterfront living and convenient access to everything McHenry has to offer. Just minutes from downtown McHenry and the vibrant Green Street district, you'll find local shopping, restaurants, and waterfront dining along the Fox River. Moraine Hills State Park offers miles of scenic trails, biking, kayaking, and nature preserves, while the Chain O'Lakes provides endless opportunities for boating and recreation.
