This fabulously updated farmhouse beckons all to come inside and stay for a while. Rich with history, this home has been a part of the Village of Barrington's stories for nearly a century. It has been meticulously and lovingly updated and brought to its vintage charm with modern finishes throughout. The formal living room offers a decorative fireplace and lots of light. Beautiful glass sliding doors open to the dining room with a stunning working fireplace. Enjoy the spacious, bright, modern kitchen with subway tile accents and a large island, leading to the back deck and yard. There's a family room and additional finished space for an office and recreation in the finished basement. Upstairs has an ensuite master with separate soaking tub and shower, and two additional bedrooms which share a full bath. Recent updates include: Newer front porch, gourmet kitchen with new appliances, roof, windows, crown molding, lighting, interior fresh paint throughout, bathrooms and basement renovations, new HVAC and new insulation. Original hardwood floors were returned to their former glory. The 3/4 acre lot has been professionally landscaped, offering a huge yard for relaxing, playing or entertaining. The detached 2 car tandem garage has room for expansion. Walk to shopping, dining, schools, parks and the Metra train. Living well is within reach in this village charmer. Proposed changes on Northwest Highway will likely make North Avenue a cul-de-sac.
