About This Home

Situated on nearly 3/4 of an acre on a premier corner lot, this beautifully updated Barrington home offers timeless design, thoughtful upgrades, and exceptional comfort throughout. A massive covered front porch and professional landscaping create unforgettable curb appeal, while a freshly repainted exterior and brand-new 2025 roof elevate both style and peace of mind. Step into the refined living space featuring refinished hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings, new LED lighting throughout, and a gas-start wood-burning fireplace with newly tiled surround. The main level blends warmth and elegance with modern functionality including a mudroom with new GE washer and dryer right off the garage. The fully refreshed chef's kitchen is the heart of the home, showcasing brand-new Cambria quartz countertops, freshly painted cabinetry with updated hardware, a farmhouse sink, new backsplash, upgraded sink fixtures, Cafe double oven, Bosch dishwasher, Kitchen built-in refrigerator, and a spacious quartz island perfect for gathering. A dedicated coffee bar and wine bar complete the space. Reverse osmosis has been added to the kitchen sink and refrigerator for enhanced water quality. Upstairs, newer carpet and runner (2023) add comfort to a thoughtfully designed layout featuring three en suite bedrooms, a fourth bedroom, and an expansive bonus room that can easily serve as a fifth bedroom, playroom, or private office retreat. Cambria quartz countertops and new sink fixtures continue throughout all above-grade bathrooms. The primary bedroom features a walk -in-closet and vaulted ceilings while the primary bathroom has a custom shower, soaker tub and large double vanity. The finished basement offers additional versatile living space with a full bathroom, newly added hardwood stairs leading down and LPV flooring throughout. The spacious 3+ car garage provides ample storage and flexibility. Major mechanical upgrades include dual-zoned HVAC with two top-of-the-line furnaces and A/C units (2023), Honeywell air cleaner, AprilAire humidifier, and Ecobee smart thermostat. A backup sump pump (2024), repaired septic system with brand new motor, water treatment system with dichlorination feature, and gutter guards add additional peace of mind. Outdoor living is just as impressive with a freshly stained deck-perfect for entertaining. New gutters on the front of the home further enhance functionality and curb appeal. Located just one block from the elementary school and a short walk to downtown Barrington's restaurants, cafes, and boutiques-while enjoying the added benefits of unincorporated Barrington-this meticulously maintained, two-owner home is a rare opportunity. Truly move-in ready with every major update thoughtfully completed.
