On the Market: Colonial-style home in Inverness

You have to see the backyard of this lovely center-entry brick colonial to believe it. The lovely in-ground pool and other amenities make this home a picture-perfect retreat after a hard day at work or school. It is truly a private paradise.

And when the Chicago weather isn't the best, you can still enjoy the carpeted recreation and play room in the home's roomy basement, as well as the spacious family room, living room and den on the main floor. Two fireplaces add to the ambience, as does the huge, immaculate kitchen with large eating area where guests can gather to chat with the cook.

Listing agent Chris Jacobs of Century 21 Roberts and Andrews in Barrington gives more details:
