Unwind and escape! Enjoy scenic waterfront views on the Fox River, watch boating action, or rent your own and tie up to the free private boat slips.
This centrally located home is blocks from McHenry's downtown district bars, shops, ice cream, restaurants, coffee, antique shops, and live theater entertainment.

Enjoy style and comfort with classic 1920s architecture and woodwork mixed with modern amenities.
Heading into the neighborhood from downtown you'll pass by the beautiful golf country club and wind through streets covered with 100-year-old oak trees as you catch your first glimpses of the river before arriving at your retreat.
Enter the front door to the cozy den / office / TV area and continue toward the back of the house through the fully equipped kitchen with Keurig coffee maker, dishwasher and dining area. Next, pass into the great room with fireplace and a jaw-dropping expansive view of the back decks, dock, and shimmering riverfront.
