Description

This charming Biltmore cottage is one of the first homes to be built in what is arguably one of the Barrington Area's most desirable neighborhoods! Constructed in 1927 and sitting on more than 3/4 acre, the location offers serene, peaceful living on a quiet, interior street. Walk up the stone-topped front steps, through the decorative cast iron porch, and you'll find the cottage features 2 bedrooms and a full bath on the main level, plus kitchen, living room with wood-burning brick fireplace and a step-down sunroom / den with windows all along two sides. Finished upstairs/attic features several rooms for easy storage or play spaces, plus another bathroom. Full basement has laundry and lots of space for hobbies, storage, etc. Property also includes a detached 2-car garage and storage shed. Many mature trees line the perimeter the property, and you'll love what is considered to be one of the oldest oak trees in the area, at the corner of the deck behind the house. Rehab and/or expand the existing home or build your dream house for the ultimate in Biltmore living, with highly-rated Barrington schools and easy access to both Barrington & Lake Zurich, Metra and more! New roof in 2023, New sump pump in 2022, New gutters on back and one side of house in 2025, New water heater in 2017, New boiler in 2019. 2x window AC units were new in 2024 and will stay with the house.

    "I'm glad I don't have to deal with rush hour. I travel north in the morning so I am going in light traffic. I see all the cars backed up going south. I wonder if the rt. 53 extension will ever get done. That would ease some of the backup. "

    "This is an awesome neighborhood. Casual to fine dining within a few minutes. Privacy when you want it, and social network when you need it. Everyone walks their dogs or goes for a stroll. Barrington Schools are highly recognized for superiority in education. The Cuba Township Highway team maintains the roads well, especially clearing during the winter."

    "North Barrington is a great place to leave. Wynstone, located in North Barrington, is the famous 750-acre idyllic gated golf community in this area. Wynstone Golf course was designed by Jack Nicklaus! It is one of the top 20 private courses in Illinois, and it's the only non-public Nicklaus Design course in the state! You have a chance to become a resident and new homeowner in this community of roughly 1000 residents leaving in 440 luxury homes nestled around the golf course! "

    "We have lived in a house which adjoins this development for over 17 years. It is a hilly, treed area, with lots of ponds, an amazing range of wildlife, and a wide assortment of architectural styles -- no "cookie-cutter tract homes" here! It is a great place for running, biking or dog-walking. In fact, we have already used the hiking trails in this conservation community and, I kid you not, there are many places where you feel like you are in pristine wilderness -- no homes or development in sight, just trees, grasses and native wildflowers. It really is quite lovely. The neighborhood includes many different types of families, from younger people with kids in school, to older empty-nesters and others nearing retirement. If you like, we have a wine-tasting club, community yard sales, occasional ice cream socials, and neighborhood holiday parties. Many people meet neighbors while walking for exercise (and meeting neighbor dogs as well!) Very large forest preserve areas with great hiking/walking/biking options are just 5-15 minutes away. Metra commuter train service is about 15 minutes away in either Barrington or Fox River Grove. Got a boat? Launch on the Fox River just 10 minutes away. Traffic is not a problem at all -- just an occasional passing car, usually a local resident. There is a small, attractive shopping center less than 3/4 mile away with a 7/11 store, bank, excellent Italian bistro, cleaners, spa, doctors' offices, etc. It is no problem to easily get what you need. While it does require a car, you can also get to major shopping venues, including Wauconda (Jewel/Osco supermarket and drug store, Walgreens, many restaurants and shops in a quaint downtown and lakeside area) -- just 5-7 minutes away -- and Lake Zurich, with more supermarkets, Costco, Home Depot, many fine and casual restaurants and shops is just 10 minutes away. Downtown Barrington is 10-15 minutes away."
