This McHenry Shores split-level has something that's hard to put into words - the kind of warmth that knotty pine paneling and a wood-burning brick fireplace give a home. You can't replicate it with paint and staging. The main living area gets a lot of natural light. A big picture window faces the front yard, and the brick fireplace with its wood mantel anchors the opposite wall. The paneling carries through into the dining area, which has a ceiling fan and a sliding door out to the deck. It flows well. The kitchen is just off the dining space - oak cabinets, gas range, built-in microwave, double stainless sink under a window, and a side door to the outside. Upstairs are three bedrooms and the full bath. The bath has a walk-in shower with a glass door, wood vanity, and tile floors - nothing flashy, just solid and clean. The lower level is a nice surprise. There's a 20 x 13 recreation room that's big enough to actually use - TV room, home office, workout space, whatever fits your life. The laundry room is down there too, and the washer and dryer stay with the house. Outside you've got a deck, a patio, and a quarter-acre lot with mature trees. One-car attached garage with opener. Mechanicals are all in order - gas forced air, central air, panel, sump pump, humidifier. Come dream today.
