McHenry, US
DWELL. HERE. Originally constructed in 1929 and known as the Lorimer Mansion, this welcoming country estate built in the Federal Revival Style is set amidst whimsically imaginative Mum Modern Landscape designed gardens, artful and inspired exterior spaces, and set back in both space and time from the liveliness of the lake community it overlooks. A delightful study in contrasts, the home marries both a formidably formal facade (fully restored in 2024) with a gracefully intimate interior. It lives as three full stories of HOME; embracing a truly rare mix of comfort and creativity that allows the spaces to become your own. Conventionally described as a five bedroom, 4.1 bath, plus office/study and a private viewing room with modern mechanicals and conveniences; yet indescribable at the same time. Relish the bustle of the lakeside lifestyle with private and public beaches, concerts at the Pavilion, shop fresh at the Farmer's Market-then retreat to your personal oasis resplendent with in-ground salt water pool, private exterior dining space, raised veggie garden beds, and ample room to roam freely. Award-winning Crystal Lake Schools & recreation nearby and equidistant from Chicago and Lake Geneva. Abundant western exposure views of sparkling 238-acre Crystal Lake. Optional CCAPOA rights. #cherish
