508 North Ave.

A home for the times that bridges the gap between the quaint beauty of the Village of Barrington to modern day luxury that meets and exceeds today's standards. From the award-winning landscape design that was featured in the Barrington Country Garden and Antique Faire, to the meticulously cultivated interior details, nothing has been left to chance. Hardwood flooring, deep base boards and moldings, front and back staircases, vaulted, as well as 9' ceilings. Wired sound system that pipes music both inside and out. The spectacular kitchen boasts a center island breakfast bar, Viking and Bosch high-end appliances, a walk-in pantry, convenient step control faucets plus a separate but nearby work area with a marble topped island, perfect for the family pastry chef or additional prep area for entertaining. French doors from here lead to the side porch where many alfresco family meals have been eaten. The adjacent family room enjoys a surround system (independent of the whole house sound system) for media viewing, a cozy gas log heatilator type fireplace with built-in shelving. French doors lead to the expansive back deck upgraded with high end Zuri deck boards. The formal dining room has been expanded since the initial build in 2009 and is quite stunning with custom raised wall panels, built-in secret storage, room to seat 20 guests and a butler's pantry with a wine/beverage fridge and draw style dishwasher. Equally gorgeous is the first-floor 5th bedroom that has rich mahogany built-in bookshelves, a custom Murphy bed with hidden closet storage and lighting and a full bathroom suite-perfect for an in-law arrangement or longer-term guests. The second floor accommodates 4 bedrooms starting with the master bedroom suite complete with volume ceilings, 2 walk-in closets, and an extravagant double bathroom with heated flooring and two distinct sides that come together in the middle with a walk-in, luxuriously sized shower! The additional 3 bedrooms are super spacious with a Jack N' Jill bathroom between bedrooms 3 and 4 and a shared hall bath with bedroom 2. This floor also has the laundry room with a newer washer and dryer, and an additional dryer. There is a bonus room at over 800 square feet with a private entry which could also be an option for a future in-law suite. The basement with 9' ceilings and radiant floor heating has been finished with a rec room with built-ins, a powder room, an office, or study area (think in-home learning). There is a 500-bottle wine cellar that is temperature controlled by Wine Guardian. The oversized 2 car garage fits extra-large SUV's and has radiant heat flooring. The sunroom also has heated flooring and overlooks the patio area. A concealed wall mounted projector screen pulls down from the exterior back of the sunroom and allows for TV and movie watching right from the hot tub. HDMI integrated equipment is stored within an interior closet. The grounds of this stately home have been transformed into an award-winning design that balances the hardscaped beauty of the patio and the softer elements of the landscape itself. So beautiful that it was pictured in the Daily Herald. Centrally located near the Village town center, Metra train station, Citizen's Park and the park district main building, restaurants and shopping at Deer Park Town Center and the Arboretum plus Award Winning Schools too!
