Property Description
Set on a private half-acre lot in Barrington, this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2.1-bath colonial offers the space, warmth, and lifestyle that families are looking for. From the moment you walk in, the extensive 2024 renovations are impossible to miss: a fully rehabbed kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and designer lighting, plus two completely renovated bathrooms and refinished hardwood floors throughout the entire first floor. The open, light-filled layout flows naturally from the living room - anchored by a wood-burning fireplace... out to a stunning three-season porch overlooking a wooded, private backyard complete with a stone patio and fire pit. Downstairs, the finished basement with rec room and pool table is ready for game nights, movie marathons, and everything in between. Major systems are already handled - new roof (2024), new furnace (2025) - so you can move right in and start living. The 2.5-car garage, generous storage, and half-acre lot round out a home that truly has it all. Located in the award-winning Barrington 220 school district - Lines Elementary, Station Middle School, and Barrington High School - and just minutes from downtown Barrington, Cuba Marsh Forest Preserve, local bike paths, and the Metra station. This is Barrington living at its best.
