Step back in time to an era when rich woodwork, beautiful leaded glass and exquisite craftsmanship were the hallmark of the best homes. Built circa 1890, this award winning "painted lady" Victorian seamlessly blends old world artistry with modern amenities to create an exceptional, one-of-a-kind offering. Set on a quiet, tree-lined double lot in the heart of downtown Barrington you can enjoy all the amenities of Village living with easy access to schools, shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, Metra, and the library. Prepare to be charmed as you enter through the original front door and are welcomed by high ceilings, rich period millwork, 8-ft pocket doors, beautiful hardwood floors, custom blinds and sun-drenched rooms with oversized windows. The expansive floor plan provides plenty of room for hosting unforgettable gatherings, whether it's lively celebrations or cozy family moments, with generous living and dining spaces perfect for creating cherished memories. A music / sitting room is perfect for afternoon tea or evening cocktails and the spacious office with cozy fireplace will make work from home days a treat. A 2005 addition included a fabulous chef's delight kitchen with custom cabinetry, farmhouse sink, high-end appliances, 7-ft island, and walk-in pantry. Completing this wonderful gathering space is a large eating area, inviting fireplace and sliders to the screened porch where you can enjoy your morning coffee or curl up with your favorite book. Also part of the expansion, the finished lower level walks out to the rear yard and garage. A spacious rec room and full bath create a perfect teen hangout or guest space. A mudroom with built-in cubbies, laundry room with second refrigerator, and ample storage space complete this level. The exquisite, original curved staircase leads to the second floor where you will find a loft area with roof balcony, three spacious secondary bedrooms and a large, updated hall bath. The stunning primary suite is a relaxing retreat with walk-in closet, spa-like bath and a private balcony deck for enjoying starlight evenings. Interior stairs lead to the attic offering space for future expansion. The private, fully fenced backyard features a two-level paver patio, ideal for relaxation, while the spacious grassy lawn provides ample room for play. Plus, enjoy the convenience of an oversized two-car garage! One visit is all it will take for this architectural gem to captivate you!
