Welcome home to 3506 Forest Road in McHenry - a truly move-in-ready ranch offering the best of both worlds: close to everything, yet tucked away in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by nature. Freshly painted in 2025, this clean, comfortable home has been lovingly maintained and pride of ownership shines throughout. The main level features vaulted ceilings throughout with ceramic tile and hardwood flooring, an inviting open floor plan, 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a welcoming family room with a warm fireplace that anchors the living space. The huge finished basement is ideal for entertaining - easily accommodating gatherings of up to 40 people - while still offering great storage space and a dedicated laundry area. A 2-car attached garage adds everyday convenience. Outside, enjoy a sunny, fenced backyard with beautiful mature landscaping, including 3 Rose of Sharon bushes lining the side of the deck that bloom with gorgeous purple flowers for 4 months each summer, plus a lilac tree in the backyard and crabapple trees in the front. What the sellers will miss most is the welcoming layout, the cozy fireplace, the flexibility of the finished basement, and the peaceful outdoor setting - all while being just minutes from it all. Downtown McHenry and Riverwalk/River Rock, the dam, scenic trails, and Moraine Hills State Park are all just minutes away. Updates include a complete tear-off roof (2016), driveway (2017, sealed every two years with the last seal in August 2024), furnace (2012), living room slider (2017), front bay window (2018), front storm door (2018), washer and dryer (2021), and sump pump (2022). Don't miss it!
