There are very few homes that rise to this level of perfection and even fewer in such an impressively beautiful setting. The magnificent canopy of oak and hickory trees on this 1.3+ acre lot is one of the rarest treasures of this far north location in McHenry County. Walk to the back of the lot and turn around to see how the house is tucked into the hillside. It's stunning. You will love how the massive rock steps frame the side of the home creating natural harmony with the surroundings. The original owner faithfully maintained every inch of the home and property for the past 26 years. The benefit will be yours to enjoy. Roof new in 2019 with 5" gutters and 3-4" downspouts.
