About this home
This classic two-story Colonial combines timeless charm with extensive updates, exceptional outdoor living, and an unbeatable location. A welcoming 280-square-foot front porch, added in 2023, features low-maintenance Trex decking, a wood beadboard ceiling, lighting, fans, and a new roof, creating the perfect three-season retreat nestled among beautifully landscaped gardens. Inside, the beautifully remodeled kitchen serves as the heart of the home, showcasing rich cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, ceramic tile flooring, a newer microwave/range vent (2024), and a new disposal (2026). Gleaming hardwood floors flow throughout most of the home, while two fireplaces add warmth and character to the inviting living spaces. The elegant living room is highlighted by a gas fireplace and custom built-in shelving added in 2021. The updated bathrooms offer stylish finishes and modern convenience, including a primary bath renovation and upstairs bathroom updates completed in 2026. Additional recent improvements include a new Speed Queen washer (2024), Speed Queen dryer (2023), radon mitigation system (2025), and new basement flooring (2026). The finished basement expands the home's living space by approximately 1,000 square feet and includes a dedicated office, providing flexibility for recreation, entertaining, fitness, or remote work. Major exterior improvements completed in 2024 include a new roof, oversized gutters, French drains, and downspouts, offering peace of mind for years to come. Set on a spacious lot, the property is a gardener's dream with vibrant blooming landscapes featuring roses, hydrangeas, peonies, daylilies, hostas, raised garden beds, apple trees, and a raspberry patch. Mature trees provide privacy and natural beauty throughout the year. Nestled on a quiet street, the home is just steps from the private Valley Swim Club and minutes from downtown Barrington and Palatine, Metra service, major transportation routes, shopping, dining, and award-winning schools. Offering the perfect balance of tranquility, convenience, and value, this beautifully updated home presents an incredible opportunity in one of the area's most sought-after communities....
