Rare opportunity in the sought-after unincorporated area of Crystal Lake and Bull Valley. Set on 1.2 picturesque acres, this meticulously maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has been lovingly cared for by the same owners for over 30 years. The moment you turn onto the tree-lined drive, you'll feel it: this is something truly special, a private, park-like retreat that's becoming harder and harder to find. Towering mature hardwoods surround the property, including a breathtaking oak estimated to be more than 300 years old and believed to be among the oldest in all of McHenry County. The setting offers a rare combination of beauty, privacy, and timeless character. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors throughout, a cozy fireplace, and an open-concept floor plan create a warm, inviting atmosphere ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. The partially finished full basement adds flexible living space along with a dedicated laundry area. The neighborhood is served by highly regarded schools, including Prairie Ridge High School, and sits just minutes from downtown Crystal Lake, the Metra station, shopping, dining, parks, and everyday conveniences. It's the perfect balance of peaceful seclusion and easy accessibility. Properties with this kind of acreage, mature trees, and an unbeatable location rarely come to market. The home will be sold as is. MULTIPLE OFFERS RECEIVED HIGHEST AND BEST BY NOON MONDAY 7/20
