Property Description
Tucked beneath a canopy of towering trees, located on a quiet street and embraced by the timeless charm of North Barrington's beloved Biltmore community, this enchanting stone-and-brick cottage-style home from the 1930s feels plucked from the pages of a storybook-but with over 3,100 square feet, it offers a chapter for every moment of your life. Perched in a picture-perfect, private setting, the home opens its arms to beautiful views of Honey Lake, where nature's own daily performance is reserved just for you. The property even includes a wonderful sledding hill, making winter days feel magical. Inside, classic craftsmanship meets modern comfort. The main level showcases hardwood floors and a warm, inviting living room centered around a stone fireplace. Sunlight fills the remodeled kitchen, where an island with seating and high-end stainless steel appliances open seamlessly to a family room outfitted with custom built-ins-perfect for everyday living and easy entertaining. The 4 season sun room, equipped with heat, air conditioning, heated floors, vaulted ceilings and access to your patio, offers beautiful views of your property and the lake! The home offers 3 bedrooms and 2.1 baths, including two full bathrooms with luxurious heated floors; one features a spa tub and separate shower. The primary bedroom is a retreat of its own with a large walk-in custom closet. The enclosed front porch, a character-rich space boasting beadboard ceilings, exposed fieldstone walls, flagstone floors and french doors-a cozy, versatile haven in every season. Modern updates blend effortlessly with the home's historic soul: an updated 200-amp electrical panel, Nest smart thermostat, and zoned heating and central AC ensure comfort and efficiency year-round. A detached garage with a walk out basement level provides room for hobbies, projects, or a quiet escape. Outdoors, a flagstone patio invites peaceful moments beneath the trees, while the property's natural contours make it scenic with views of the lake! But the magic extends far beyond the front door. More than a subdivision, Biltmore is a legacy-a nearly century-old retreat, established in 1926, where timeless elegance meets resort-style living. Here, optional Country Club and Social Memberships unlock a world of leisure and luxury: Barrington's only private beach, perfect for lakeside lounging or sunset strolls Award-winning dining, from elegant evenings to breezy nights at the Beach Club Championship golf, honored as a Certified Audubon Sanctuary Tennis, junior programs, ladies leagues, and year-round recreation for all ages Warm hospitality and celebration spaces steeped in tradition And all of it just moments from your own charming cottage-wrapped in history, graced by nature, and framed by the beauty of Honey Lake. This isn't just a home. It's a place where elegance endures, where every sunrise feels like an invitation, and where your story is meant to unfold. WELCOME HOME.
