The finished walk-out lower level is all about fun and function, with a large recreation room, cozy fireplace, wet bar, sauna, full bath, and ample space for games, workouts, or movie nights. Step outside to a new patio and a lush, grassy lawn-perfect for entertaining, play, or pure relaxation. A second basement offers great storage options and the two-car detached garage with EV charger adds to the home's appeal. All of this, just moments from downtown Barrington's shops, restaurants, Metra, and award-winning District 220 schools. This home is truly a perfect 10!
