Tucked beneath mature trees on a quiet acre in Barrington's Timberlake Estates, this turnkey 3-bed, 2-bath brick-and-cedar ranch offers the kind of easy one-level living that rarely comes with this much land - and this much already done - all within desirable District 220. Inside, large windows fill the home with natural light and a beautiful fireplace anchors the living space, while the primary suite delivers true tranquility - views over the yard, an ensuite with a double vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower, and a walk-in closet. At the heart of the home's flow sits a large, main-level flex room with built-in shelving - fully remodeled with new drywall, paint, and electric (2022) - opening to the screened porch on one side and the workroom and garage on the other, with space enough for an office, second living room, exercise area, and / or whatever you desire. The appliances are nearly all recent, too: a brand-new dishwasher (2026), refrigerator (2024), and washer and dryer (2025), backed by a water heater (2018), water softener (2020), and oven/range and microwave (2017). Then there's the big-ticket work already done for you - a list that reads like a new-construction punch list: a brand-new septic system (2025), two furnaces and central air (2020), a new well motor (2019), and a roof (2014). Exterior doors were replaced (2022), and the entire exterior was freshly painted (2023) - done, documented, and off your worry list for years. Outside is where the acre earns its keep, with plenty of space for hosting or simply enjoying nature. Your attached, screened-in porch - with a new floor (2026) - overlooks the yard, joined by a stamped-concrete back patio (2023) and a paver patio out front. Timberlake Estates delivers the amenities that make this neighborhood special, too: a private lake with water rights, private beach and playground, and community events throughout the year. An attached two-car garage with that separate, designated workspace rounds out the practical side.
