Colorado contemporary cedar home with transitional modern interior. Architectural shingle roof with stunning modern landscaping makes this home stand out on its half acre lot. Spectacular refinished basement with a wet bar, optional pool table and built in components for a home theatre. This house has 3 1/2 bedrooms with the fourth being used as a studio loft with a cathedral ceiling and twin power skylights. The dining room can be easily converted into a fifth main level bedroom for an aging parent and the basement only needs a couple of divider walls to create a 6th or 7th bedroom if so needed. There are 2 full baths on the top level, one half bath on the main floor and another full bath in the full finished basement level. There is a panoramic view from the large front room with adjacent family room which has a stunning white marble fireplace with maintenance free gas logs. There is a modern chef's kitchen with 52 French provincial doors and drawers to store your cookware in the wrap around cabinets with corian countertops. The black paneled appliances include a microwave, gas stove, side by side fridge with ice maker & water in the door and a stainless interior dishwasher. The adjacent laundry room has a pair of newer side-load Whirlpool washer and gas dryer.
The garage has a second level above it for storage as well as twin power doors, a beautiful floor coating, and dozens of modern storage cabinets. There is a recently rebuilt wooden deck with lighting and a canopy covered bench as well as an adjacent paver stone patio. The covered front porch with glimpses of the Fox River is also paved with beautiful pavers along with the front sidewalk
You have all of the benefits of waterfront living without the pain of flood insurance or the flood damage peril associated with waterfront living. All 20 homeowners on our street own an equal share in a private river front lot. We have a boat dock with an optional motorized shore station and canopy to protect your boat. There are picnic tables, a boat launch ramp and a guest pier for any of your friends who also live on the water and stop by for a sunset cocktail. This neighborhood is unincorporated saving you thousands in municipal taxes. It comes with its own septic field and private well which has a double filtration system and water softener which means no obscene water bills if the kids are playing with the hose. Both the high efficiency furnace with built in humidifier and the hot water tank are less than 10-years old.
We have already been contacted by several realtors including one who did a CMA pegging the house at a value of $359,900. You can buy direct for only $349,900 and save us both expensive commission charges if you can close soon.
If you give us the full asking price, we will even throw in over $10,000 worth of toys including the pool table for the game room, our antique piano, the powered shore station with canopy, and the 4-passenger golf cart to drive your guests back and forth to your dock. Everything that you need to start enjoying the river life by day, and family parties by night in the fully finished game room.
This home is on a quiet cul de sac street in unincorporated McHenry County. This means that there are No water bills, No sewer bills, No city vehicle stickers, No municipal taxes like the $10 per month cell phone tax at my last home, and there is no homeowners association with the prohibitively expensive monthly fees. It has an Algonquin postal address, but Fox River Grove is the fire department, and you cannot get here without driving through Barrington Hills. All information including but not limited to square footage and lot size are deemed to be reliable, but not guaranteed. It should be personally verified through a personal inspection with your appropriate professionals.
We ask that nobody contact, trespass, or solicit this home Without an Appointment. Thank you for understanding.
