Property Description

Wake up to stunning lake views every morning in this charming lakefront retreat nestled in the heart of Oakwood Hills, a small, tranquil village in McHenry County where private lake living meets small-town character. Set on a half-acre lot with direct frontage on the lake, this property offers the rare combination of waterfront lifestyle and year-round livability. Inside, the home features [4] bedrooms, [4] bathrooms, and a warm, inviting layout that's been lovingly maintained. Two wood-burning fireplaces create the perfect ambiance for cozy evenings, while recessed lighting in the lakeside TV room adds a relaxed, resort-like feel. The kitchen is well-appointed with appliances including a refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher. The unfinished basement offers tremendous potential for additional living space. Step outside to a screened-in porch, perfect for enjoying warm lake breezes without the bugs, which flows to a deck that extends to the back of the home, offering expansive outdoor living with breathtaking water views. The property also features a private well and water softener. No HOA fees. No special service area assessments. Oakwood Hills is bordered by Cary and is mere minutes from Crystal Lake. Nearby downtown Cary offers dining, boutique shops, and community events, while Crystal Lake provides additional retail, recreation, and entertainment options. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the abundance of forest preserves, bike paths, and parks throughout McHenry County. This is a rare opportunity to own a lakefront home in one of the Chicago area's most quietly beloved lake communities. Whether you're looking for a year-round residence or a summer escape, this home delivers the waterfront lifestyle you've been dreaming of. Included with the sale: canoe, row boat, pier, paddle boat, 2 kayaks, and 4 Adirondack chairs. This home is a great opportunity for investors. It is being conveyed as-is, where-is, without exception.
