Property Description
Discover your dream home in this beautiful lakefront community with award winning Barrington 220 schools! An incredible mix of modern finishes with lake house touches, this spacious 4-bedroom, 3-full bathroom home truly has it all! A charming entryway provides a gentle transition from the outdoors, just steps to the gorgeously updated, eat-in kitchen! With stainless steel appliances, fresh finishes and plenty of counter space, the kitchen strikes the perfect balance, offering an elegant setting for memorable dinner parties while also serving up everyday comfort. This home thoughtfully separates living spaces for ultimate comfort and flexibility. On the main level, you'll find the primary suite and two additional, generously sized bedrooms. Downstairs, the versatile fourth bedroom provides endless possibilities, easily transforming into a dedicated home office or a private workout room. The lower level has been transformed into its own oasis with an updated bar, built-in shelving with murphy bed and its own comfortable lounge space. The stunning landscaping outside is truly a showstopper. Lush perennials line the drive up to the just-refinished, multi-level deck. All trees were just professionally trimmed to offer enhanced views and abundant natural light. Beyond your doorstep, embrace the unparalleled community amenities like the park two doors down, just past the fishing landing! Enjoy days filled with non-motorized water sports like paddle boarding, playing racquet sports, relaxing on the sandy beaches, exploring the numerous parks scattered throughout the neighborhood or join in on one of the many social events like the 4th of July festivities that take place in Tower Lakes! Whether you're seeking adventure on the water or tranquil moments in nature, this community has it all. Home also has a new hot water heater, water softener, dishwasher, washer, dryer and more!
