2923 Shorewood Drive

Most homes on this stretch of McHenry look out at the Fox River. This one comes with a piece of it. Across Shorewood Drive, a separate deeded river-frontage parcel conveys with the house - your own spot to set a pier, drop a shore station, and keep a boat on the Chain of Lakes. From the front of the home, the water is what you see. Inside, the ceilings open up. The living room runs vaulted, a fireplace at one end and parquet underfoot. The family room does the same, a second fireplace and carpeted floor. Light fills a 17-foot sunroom that the current owner uses more than any other room in the house. Three bedrooms, all on one level. The primary holds vaulted ceilings and a wall of closets. A kitchen with real cabinet space and a pantry, baths that have been freshened, central air, and an oversized two-car garage built for McHenry winters. Half an acre, mature trees, no HOA, and the river across the street. The house you can make your own. The water you can't make anywhere else.
