About this home
1209 Appaloosa Trail is a very unassuming, but charming home, with all of the integral qualities of a good solid start for the well-grounded, practical family looking for a foundation of strength and growth for their family to remain strong well into the future. Why is that? Well, this 5 bedroom, and 3 bath home offers a tremendous number of rooms, and each room has an enormous amount of space. The windows of the English basement offers a place for gatherings and parties, guests, or for family to live in the same house without being in each other's way. To begin, this 3,335SF home is turn key and worry free where the base work has all been replaced with a solidly functioning home. The owners had started to prepare this home for endurance through their retirement. The work and expense has been significant, providing peace of mind to the new owners, as they can apply their own fine finishes where needed. This house has guts, versus just flash and pop. The mechanicals, such as the Heating and Air Conditioning units, hot water tank, and water softener have been replaced. The driveway is new with 4" compaction under the asphalt to support a camper or heavy boats. The roof was replaced 12 years ago and gutter guards assist the maintenance free exterior. The rooms that have been updated, remodeled, refurbished or refinished include the basement, the guest bathroom, the private bathroom for the upstairs bedrooms, the bath and toilet of the master bath, the laundry room, utility room, the front door and entryway and drywall finishes to the garage. The Owners are offering a gracious $3,000 credit is offered to the buyer at closing for painting and finishing to meet your own interests. Another wonderful quality of this home is the neighborhood and forest that surrounds it. It is very rare to find houses that hold this many rooms and each room being as large space as they are! This custom home neighborhood, itself positions the home to sit on a .93 acre property located on the side of the subdivision where the canopy of trees and amount of forest makes this a pleasant neighborhood. The neighborhood is unincorporated McHenry County located just east, at the threshold of the city with an equestrian farm across the road, an outdoor theater at the corner with a pond and park provided by the association. The 5 bedroom home offers four beds on the upper floor, with 1 bedroom in the finished English basement for guests or mother in-law arrangement. Every room in the house is well ventilated and lit with daylight by Pella windows. For those of us who like to cook, this brightly lit eat-in kitchen provides a gas range, over-the-range microwave/ vent, refrigerator, dishwasher, a large pantry, plenty of cabinetry and countertop space needed to work and store all food and kitchen items. The yard and 3-tier deck is viewable through the 6' patio door, leading to drinks and meals enjoyed on the deck in natural settings and landscape. The countertop peninsula invites visitors to spend time while working in the kitchen. or entertaining, or enjoying a morning cup, there is a large, sprawling deck to the back of the house, which extends to the large patio on the wooded side of the house and family room. The family room features a wood burning fireplace and two six foot patio doors for enjoying nature, in comfort, regardless of season. The city of McHenry offers the fanfare of the Riverwalk, with restaurants and businesses that have electrified and solidified the excitement for future generations. Nightlife has come to the community creating entertainment as a staple of our community. The future of this home is secured both in home equity and community, and will bring peace and comfort to the new occupants. Not only due to the base mechanicals and items being replaced, remodeled and freshened up, but due largely to the quality of the people who owned this home and the quality of people in the neighborhood....
