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. Lots of old / original plumbing pipe replaced with PVC in 2024. Home & property are being sold as-is. Absolutely tremendous opportunity at this price!

    "Everyone owns a dog. It’s common. Many own more than one. Cats and fish and lizards are welcome too."
  • Frank Milazzo
    "I would say that there are not sidewalks in this community which makes it more difficult to walk dogs. "
  • Leonewaldron
    "Very pretty and safe. A little too conservative though. Garners market nearby and in town. Bike and running trails a short drive away."
  • George K.
    "Not sure. I haven’t used it yet. Probably not that convenient. Highway 12 and rural roads need vast improvement. Poor lighting everywhere. That’s all I have to say about that. "
  • Gummybear72
    "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. "
  • Bernard O.
    "Not much. Village allows chickens to be raised by residents and officials do not enforce any control over it. "
  • Bblanchard6114
    "Area events like parades, picnics and shopping. The parks and school events are always having events like bowling and sports for children."
  • Bblanchard6114
    "Great access if you use metro , so you do need a car to get around. Neighbors are nice area has lots of shopping. I love my area"
  • Bill Z.
    "nice area, taxes high, schools (70% of tax bill), waste money. layers of Administrators, Lake Zurich schools cheaper than Barrington. too many trains to try to get to BHS."
  • Bblanchard6114
    "Dogs are welcome just clean up after them. Neighbors are nice and friendly. Yards are well taken care of."
  • Bblanchard6114
    "Pick up the poop’ keeps your yard clean. Be friendly and keep your eyes open for oddities. The neighbors are nice. "
  • Bblanchard6114

  • T. H.
    "The association has events at the community beach throughout the year. They also do lanterns around the lake every Christmas Eve. The beach is very nice. People fish in Summer and Winter."
  • Mattl
    "Dogs are welcome, great way for their owners to get some exercise too, meet your neighbors along the way. What’s not to like?"
  • Deannac0569
    "It’s an oasis from the suburbs. It’s hilly, wooded, with streams and a lake, and each house is unique. There are deer, fox, and all kinds of woodland critters. It’s a really beautiful place to live. "
  • Aboopv
    "it's one of the best place to live for family's totally secured and great schools along with all shopping around "
  • Rick H.
    "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."
  • Lckgeo
    "Located in Wynstone CC; it is a true "secret" outside its security gate; it has everything from outstanding security, great family neighborhood with plenty of activities for adults and kids and unbelievable beauty. Nothing else really like it."
  • Rbs280
    "Quality Custom Built Home - Excellent Schools - abuts Lake County Forest Preserve, 600 acres behind home , over looking Grassey Lake. Beautiful 200 year old Oaks, large open flat yard , You are in the country, but close to everything > Nicest area North West of Chicago. "
  • Patricia M.
    "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! "
  • Steve K.
    "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."
