Description
Get ready to revel in rustic modern vibes in this 5-bedroom, 5.1-bath colonial in one of Barrington's most desirable enclaves. Offering 4,000 sq ft of living space above grade PLUS a fully finished basement, this palatial home is the stuff of cottage-core dreams yet packed with modern amenities. Tucked away in Timberlake Estates on a sprawling, secluded 1.19-acre lot with access to a private 46-acre lake with beach and park, the romance begins right at the front porch, which spans the entire front of the home and has stone pavers, bead board ceiling and prairie-style windows with shutters. The two-story entryway features sophisticated travertine tile, staircase steeped in rich Brazilian hardwood and ornate wrought-iron, and a beveled ceiling that perfectly showcases a gorgeous 16-bulb chandelier. Moving further into the main level, diagonally laid Brazilian hardwood defines the huge living room from the adjacent dining room - an incredible amount of space for formal entertaining, with elegant crown molding and wainscoting throughout. The large, immaculate gourmet kitchen features stainless steel Kitchenaid and GE appliances, granite countertops, wet bar with wine fridge, huge center island and separate dining area with sliding doors opening to the stone paver patio overlooking the enormous, extremely private backyard. Kitchen flows seamlessly into the family room, which features a fabulously rustic floor-to-ceiling, woodburning stone fireplace (you can just picture the warm, cozy nights entertaining at home!). A bay window looks out to the rambling yard and wooded area beyond. Elsewhere on the main level is a French country-style half-bath and a sizeable bedroom with its own ensuite full bathroom - ideal as a first-floor primary or guest suite. Perhaps the most attractive feature of the main level is the three seasons sunroom with vaulted wood ceiling and three walls of windows inviting the outdoors in - it's like your own sweet little cabin in the woods! On the second level, there are four more spacious bedrooms, including the primary suite, which boasts massive closets, its own sitting room, gas fireplace, a tandem room perfect as an office or studio, and an ensuite bathroom with jetted tub and separate shower. One of the other bedrooms is a mini suite with its own attached bathroom, and another full bathroom and laundry room round out the second floor. The lower level is quite simply an entertainer's dream - a fully appointed bar/wet bar and gigantic recreation room are ready for year-round parties, and another full bedroom and full bathroom offer extra room for in-laws, guests and extended holiday stays. All wood blinds throughout, dual-zoned HVAC, a secondary seating area in the yard with fire pit and a three-car garage are additional amenities in this absolute stunner of a home. So many updates! See list in additional docs.
