The spacious living room features a wet bar-perfect for hosting guests-while the chef's kitchen is a dream come true with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and an oversized island. The kitchen opens effortlessly to a sunny breakfast room and a cozy family room with fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Sliders lead to a delightful screened porch-your go-to spot for morning coffee, quiet reading, or evening wind-downs. Step out onto the Trex balcony deck and soak in the picturesque views of your beautifully landscaped yard. A flexible main-floor office doubles as a formal dining space, depending on your needs. You'll also find a convenient half bath, laundry room, and mudroom with built-in cubbies and exterior access-an ideal drop zone for busy lives. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite is a true retreat, complete with wide plank hardwood floors, a gas fireplace, spa-worthy ensuite bath with oversized shower, a generous walk-in closet, and French doors leading to a balcony. Three additional bedrooms offer plenty of space, including one with its own private bath and two that share a chic hall bath. The finished walk-out lower level is all about fun and function, with a large recreation room, cozy fireplace, wet bar, sauna, full bath, and ample space for games, workouts, or movie nights. Step outside to a new patio and a lush, grassy lawn-perfect for entertaining, play, or pure relaxation. A second basement offers great storage options and the two-car detached garage with EV charger adds to the home's appeal. All of this, just moments from downtown Barrington's shops, restaurants, Metra, and award-winning District 220 schools. This home is truly a perfect 10!
