Woodland privacy opportunity with this 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath split-level diamond-in-the-rough in Wauconda. Situated at the end of a dead-end street, adjacent to untouched woodlands is 28481 Highview Road. Built by the parents of the current owners as their dream home, it is ready for updating and renovations. Approaching the house, feels like a retreat into nature. The house welcomes visitors with it's large foyer into the home on the first floor which includes the half-bath and the walk-out family room with wood-burning fire place. Head up one short flight of stairs to the second floor that includes a small kitchen and the dining/living room combination with soaring vaulted ceilings. This room is so large it accommodates two grand pianos and has hosted countless piano recitals in the past. The dining area includes a sliding glass door that heads out to the wooded back yard and small patio. Wonderful potential here to create an outdoor dining space. The next short flight of stairs leads to the bedrooms. There are three rather large bedrooms and one smaller one. The primary and the second bedroom both have access to the deck that runs the length of that side of the house. The primary bedroom includes its own bathroom and the full bathroom in the hallway also is home to the washer and dryer. The stairs currently have chair lifts, which would be included if desired. The two-car attached garage is heated! The furnace was replaced last year. There is definitely work to be done on this wonderful home and incredible potential. You don't find this often - this size of home, with a fantastic floor plan on a wooded and secluded lot, yet that is still within a lovely neighborhood. The address is McHenry, but this is actually Wauconda. The house is being conveyed As-Is. Please contact the listing agent for more information. Showings will be agent-accompanied.
