Discover the perfect balance of privacy and convenience at 26225 W Merton Road. This rarely available 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath single-family home (plus two versatile bonus rooms ideal for a home office or extra bedrooms) sits on nearly 3/4 of an acre and is ready for its next owners. Designed with family living in mind, the home is filled with natural light and offers plenty of space to relax and entertain. Recent updates include a new roof, stainless steel appliances, and water heater-providing peace of mind for years to come. Step outside to your own backyard retreat featuring a new deck, above-ground pool with dedicated patio space, and expansive yard framed by mature trees and beautifully maintained landscaping. All of this, and you're still just a short stroll-less than a mile-from downtown Barrington's train station, shops, restaurants, and schools (with Roslyn Road Elementary right down the street). Homes like this rarely come to market-available for the first time in nearly 30 years! Don't miss your chance to make it yours.
