Lovingly maintained Craftsman style ranch situated on a quiet tree-lined street "away from it all' yet close to all that Barrington has to offer, including Metra, the Barrington park district, library and pool, parks, Heinen's grocery, public golf, Ambrosia bakery, the famous Catlow dine-in movie theater, and Barrington Village retail. Walk your little one(s) to the award winning Roslyn Elementary School and park. Find peace of mind in a safe, family friendly neighborhood with enough space inside and out to entertain, work, grow, play, and simply, enjoy. Outside, find a gardener's paradise across over .5 acres with no neighbors to the front or back that includes a multitude of well cared for perennials and lucious greenery, mature towering trees (a true fall color spectacle!), winding brick pathways, a babbling brook, a cedar deck with screened story-book gazebo, and an expansive lawn with stone patio built for camp-outs and smores. Store your toys in an oversized two car garage complete with sturdy work benches and shelving. As you step inside, you are greeted with warm cherry floors and a wood burning fireplace, natural stone accents and color palette, intelligently designed floor plan, and Southern exposure with an abundance of natural light. Escape downstairs to the basement and experience a dose of 'Old Chicago'. 100+ year old reclaimed brick, barn, and industrial materials adorn over 1,000 sq ft of flex space complete with professionally stained concrete floors, egress exit, closet space, generous storage rooms, built-ins, LED lighting, utility room and laundry. With numerous recent improvements and a list of professional service providers to share, this house is move in and meditation ready. What the sellers family likes about this home.... Only after you live here can you truly appreciate what makes this house a home. Wonderful neighbors who quickly became our friends but still respected privacy, the sounds of nature all around you like frogs, birds, and crickets, watching the sun set and the last rays of light pour through the house as we sat down for dinner, witnessing the yard come alive in the Spring and look like a holiday card as the snow fell in the winter, feeling safe walking our dog and kids any time day or night, a country feeling yet with all of the urban conveniences, bike routes from outside of our door that take you to and through Barrington's rolling countryside and horse farms, easy access to Southern Wisconsin recreation, spending a day at the pool and grabbing a Sundae on the walk home, and overall a wonderful and a memorable place to have started our family and called home.
