Oversized 219' x 100' vacant lot in Cary offering approximately 21,900 sq ft of potential. Ideally located just blocks from the Fox River while not in a flood plain, giving you the benefit of being near nature and recreation without the added flood risk. An existing driveway currently runs through the lot to provide access to the home located behind the property. Generous dimensions make this a great opportunity for a custom home, future investment, or long-term hold. Conveniently located near parks, schools, shopping, Metra, and major roadways. Rare chance to secure a large parcel in an established Cary neighborhood. Buyer to conduct their own due diligence regarding zoning and building plans. There is an easement for ingress and egress. The driveway can be moved but you must provide access to lot in the rear of the property
