This fabulously updated farmhouse beckons all to come inside and stay for a while. Rich with history, this home has been a part of the Village of Barrington's stories for nearly a century. It has been meticulously and lovingly updated and brought to it's vintage charm with modern finishes and a great floorplan.

Original hardwood floors were returned to their former glory. The 3/4 acre lot has been professionally landscaped, offering a gracious yard for relaxing or entertaining. The formal living and dining rooms have fireplaces, and the basement recreation offers room to play and work from home. The detached 2 car tandem garage has room for expansion. Walk to shopping, dining, schools, parks and the Metra train. Living well is within reach in this village charmer.
