Discover your new lifestyle! Ideally located with easy access to Huntley, Woodstock, and Crystal Lake this property offers both privacy and proximity. Originally intended as a long-term residence, the current owner made significant energy-efficient upgrades before life called for a new chapter. The most significant upgrade is the solar panels that are owned, not leased. The result is no long-term commitments and crazy low electric bills, even though the home also features a 50-amp EV charging station, 400-amp service, and an array of smart home features designed for comfort and efficiency. Inside, the layout provides long-term flexibility, including a walkout lower-level in-law suite complete with a second kitchen, living room, full bath, two additional bedrooms, private patio, and extra storage. The main level showcases a well-appointed granite and stainless kitchen, a separate dining room, and a spacious family room with vaulted ceilings-perfect for that massive Christmas tree you've always wanted. A gorgeous stone hearth, wood-burning fireplace, and a built-in wet bar create a cozy and stylish entertaining space, also connected to the large deck and patio area. Upstairs, you'll find a versatile loft ideal for an office, craft space, or gaming area. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring its own wood-burning fireplace and a private coffee balcony. Need space for your toys or tools? The generous driveway and side parking area provide ample parking for RVs, boats, trailers, campers, and work vehicles. The vast savings from owning solar panels will go a long way towards customizing your own updates. Come see the rest for yourself!
