Property Description

More than an address, this is a feeling-the kind you can't quite put into words until you experience it. Tucked away on over two acres in South Barrington, this is your own private slice of paradise... a lifestyle defined by space, nature, and quiet luxury. Here, land stretches out around you, water shimmers just beyond your windows, and every day feels a little more intentional. From the moment you step inside, gorgeous hardwood floors welcome you in, setting the tone for a home that effortlessly blends warmth and functionality. The first floor is designed to move with your day-to-day life. A versatile 12x26 space offers the perfect duality-whether it becomes your home office or a second family room, you'll find yourself drawn to the fireplace in the fall and the peaceful water views in the spring. At the center of it all is the kitchen-the true heart of the home. If you've ever saved inspiration from Instagram or Pinterest, this is where it comes to life. Designed for the home chef, the baker, and the ultimate host, it features a Thermador oven, Thermador 5-burner cooktop, Sub-Zero refrigerator, stunning granite countertops, and beautiful cabinetry. The oversized island anchors the space, opening seamlessly into the dining area, eat-in kitchen, and an expansive family room with a second fireplace. Whether it's a quiet morning coffee or a full house of guests, this space rises to the occasion every time. Charcuterie station, chili-night and or happy hour. It's all experienced here. Just off the attached 3-car garage, the mudroom completes the first floor with thoughtful convenience-laundry, a half bath, and even a second refrigerator. Downstairs, the finished basement becomes your escape. It's the kind of space that adapts to your life-perfect for game nights, Sunday football, or simply unwinding. With impressive ceiling height, ample storage, and incredible flexibility, it easily accommodates everything from toys and instruments to hobbies and creative pursuits. A fifth bedroom adds even more versatility, ideal for guests, an in-law, or a private retreat. Whether you're a musician, podcaster, or just need a space to create, this level delivers. Upstairs, the second floor continues to impress. The primary suite is a true getaway-a place to recharge after a long day, who needs Kohler spa, when you have it at home. Plush newer carpeting throughout the home leads you into a space that feels both expansive and intimate, complete with a walk-in closet that truly lives up to the dream, now you have the space for more shoes. The spa-like bathroom features beautiful travertine tile, a walk-in shower, a separate soaking tub, double vanities, and a linen closet. And then there's the bonus space-just off the walk-in closet-a 12x19 room filled with possibility. Whether you envision an extended closet, a dedicated shoe room, a craft space, a Peloton studio, or even a private library or your own speakeasy, this is where your imagination gets to take the lead. Step outside, and the story continues. Through newer sliding doors, the paver patio invites you to slow down and stay awhile. The trellis is perfect for your outdoor tv, or hanging plants. Evenings are made for grilling, gathering, and ending the night by the outdoor fireplace with s'mores under the stars. The property offers multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy-from peaceful mornings by the water to afternoons spent fishing, canoeing, or taking out a pontoon. The gentle sound of the waterfall, the glow of custom exterior lighting, and the laughter of friends and family create an atmosphere that's hard to leave. Beyond the home itself, the location brings even more to love. You're served by top-rated schools including Barbara B. Rose Elementary School, Barrington Middle School Prairie Campus, and Barrington High School. Just minutes from I-90, about a 15-minute drive to the Union Pacific Northwest Line Metra, and roughly 15 minutes to Woodfield Mall, you're perfectly position
