611 Prairie Avenue, Barrington, IL 60010

Set behind a classic front porch just blocks from downtown Barrington, this handsome Dutch Colonial looks like it has always belonged here. The gambrel roofline, sage colored cedar shingle siding, leaded-glass-look windows, and columned porch echo the century-old homes that define the neighborhood. But built in 2007, it delivers that timeless character with the systems, layout, and finishes of a modern home, so you get the charm without the compromises. Nearly 3,000 square feet above grade with rich hardwood floors throughout, beautiful millwork, cathedral ceilings in the bedrooms, transoms galore, and French doors throughout. The heart of the home is a chef's kitchen with a huge square center island, custom inset cabinetry, ample counters, a hearth room, and full stainless steel appliance package, opening to a spacious family room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. A separate dining room, living room, breakfast nook, mud room, and gracious foyer round out the first floor. Upstairs...
