Property Description
Set behind a classic front porch just blocks from downtown Barrington, this handsome Dutch Colonial looks like it has always belonged here. The gambrel roofline, sage colored cedar shingle siding, leaded-glass-look windows, and columned porch echo the century-old homes that define the neighborhood. But built in 2007, it delivers that timeless character with the systems, layout, and finishes of a modern home, so you get the charm without the compromises. Nearly 3,000 square feet above grade with rich hardwood floors throughout, beautiful millwork, cathedral ceilings in the bedrooms, transoms galore, and French doors throughout. The heart of the home is a chef's kitchen with a huge square center island, custom inset cabinetry, ample counters, a hearth room, and full stainless steel appliance package, opening to a spacious family room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. A separate dining room, living room, breakfast nook, mud room, and gracious foyer round out the first floor. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms, including a wonderful primary suite with a spa-style bath, double sinks, soaking tub, and separate shower, plus two closets and a private balcony over the backyard. Laundry is conveniently located on the second floor, along with two large bedrooms with vaulted ceilings. The basement is finished, with a large recreation room, a fourth bedroom currently used as a gym, an additional bath, and plenty of storage space. Just steps from downtown and the Metra, walking distance to the elementary school, nothing to do here but move in!
