McHenry, US
Where newer construction meets timeless architecture on this peaceful, unincorporated land, crafted for those who expect more than a home. This nearly EIGHT ACRE retreat blends refined design with uncompromising functionality for those who expect the extraordinary. Tucked quietly off a long TREE LINED DRIVE in UNINCORPORATED CRYSTAL LAKE, the property offers the kind of space, privacy, and mechanical sophistication that is difficult to replicate. The stone and cedar exterior, accented by copper roof details and sculpted scalloped trim, sets a striking architectural tone upon arrival. Inside, the home welcomes you with a dramatic foyer anchored by a motorized chandelier lift, an elegant detail that reflects the thoughtful engineering woven throughout the property. The interior unfolds into warm sunlit living spaces, including a large family room with a fireplace, custom built ins, and serene views extending across pastures and open land. At the center of the home, a true entertainer's kitchen provides both beauty and performance. Features include 2 Islands, double ovens, 2 drawer dishwasher, a microwave drawer, trash compactor, pot filler, roll out cabinetry, hood ready ventilation and a generous walk in pantry. A well appointed butler's pantry with dual wine refrigerators enhances everyday living and elevates hosting with effortless ease. The upper level offers FOUR ENSUITE BEDROOMS, a rare and highly functional layout. The PRIMARY SUITE feels like a private sanctuary, complete with an OVERSIZED FOOTPRINT, a balcony overlooking the grounds, radiant heated bathroom floors, a jetted spa tub, and a custom Closet Factory wardrobe system with dedicated jewelry storage. A heated and air conditioned bonus room adds flexible space ideal for lounging, work, studio use, or play. The lower level highlights the home's exceptional mechanical specifications. A LARGE UTILITY AREA houses twin 200 amp electrical panels with a subpanel, a substantial gas fired hydronic boiler powering radiant heat in the garage and primary bath, an oversized water heater designed to handle high demand fixtures, and a sophisticated well system including a 68 foot depth, high quality Berkeley pump, dual Kinetico water softeners, and iron filtration. Air quality is supported by multiple whole home systems, including Healthy Climate purification and Nortec humidity management. A hardwired GENERATOR provides additional peace of mind. Beyond the home, the lifestyle possibilities are remarkable. The barn is an immense asset, featuring three stalls, a tack and work area, a massive loft, an RV hookup, water lines, freeze protection heat elements, and a bathroom already wired for a future tankless system. Whether tailored for equestrian needs, car collection, equipment, or creative reimagining, the structure offers significant scale and versatility. Wide level pastures and thoughtfully positioned fencing form a beautiful framework for recreation, hobby farming, or future enhancements. Outdoor living spaces include a wide inviting deck perfect for gatherings, a spacious screened porch ideal for breezy summer days, and multiple vantage points overlooking pristine acreage. The land itself is open, usable, and picturesque, an exceptional canvas for whatever lifestyle the next owner envisions. Recent updates, including refinished hardwood floors, new carpeting, meticulous cleaning, lighting enhancements, and consistent maintenance, support the home's polished and cared for presentation. The result is a residence that balances comfort with capability, style with structure, and land with luxury. This is more than a home. It is a generational estate, engineered, crafted, and positioned for those who understand the rarity of acreage, architecture, and mechanical excellence coming together in one unmatched offering.
