Discover a rare opportunity at 827 W Northeast Shore Drive in McHenry! This unique property includes two separate lots, offering exceptional flexibility, privacy, and future potential. The existing two-bedroom, one-bath home sits on one lot, while the second vacant lot provides the opportunity to build an additional home or guest house, subject to local approvals, or simply enjoy the added land and outdoor space. Inside, the home features hardwood floors, an updated kitchen with leathered granite countertops, and a custom walk-in storage pantry. The kitchen overlooks the backyard and Griswold Lake, while the spacious family room provides the perfect setting for relaxing evenings or entertaining family and friends. A full bathroom adds to the home's move-in-ready appeal. Roof, windows, and all mechanicals are less than five years old. Enjoy private beach access just steps from the property, making it easy to spend your days swimming, boating, fishing, or relaxing by the water. Boaters will appreciate the $9,000 premium pier system, complete with railings and a durable, non-slip surface. Designed to remain in the water year-round, the pier eliminates the hassle of seasonal installation and removal, while its specialized surface stays cool and comfortable on sunny days. Whether you're looking for a year-round residence, weekend retreat, or property with development potential, this one offers a rare combination of lake access, additional land, quality updates, and versatility in a desirable McHenry lake community. Don't miss this unique opportunity to enjoy private beach access and the potential that comes with owning two separate lots!
