The current owner refers to this property in the best descriptive way..."Chateau Relaxo"!!! If you think life is too short to not enjoy it to it's fullest-this is the perfect home for you! Fox River front on an excellent stretch of the river near downtown McHenry. The neighborhood is on the walk path to downtown restaurants, bars, shopping and entertainment. Even though the current owner is retiring away, he leaves this property reluctantly. This is the opportunity you have been waiting for-come enjoy the Chain of Lakes! Many updates on Mechanicals, roof, etc. Don't miss this one!
