On the Market: Barrington Georgian
If you are looking for a stately brick and cedar Georgian house overlooking a pond, surrounded by woods, and just whispers serenity in your ear (but also happens to be close to Metra stations, as well as shopping and restaurants), this is your home.
When you are having your coffee in the breakfast area each morning and looking out the rear windows to watch birds fly through the trees and land near the pond, you will never guess you are anywhere near a large metropolitan area with all of the attractions that entails. But moments later when you hop in your car to drive to work or shopping, you will certainly enjoy the quick commute.
This lovely executive home features new carpeting and paint, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. There is a lovely two-story family room, a study, large laundry room, foyer and spacious living and dining rooms on the main floor with four bedrooms, three baths and a bonus room on the second floor.
The home also boasts a three-car garage, deck, unfinished basement and a yard enclosed by an invisible fence.
