Listing Description
Tucked within the beloved Jewel Park neighborhood, this custom Cape Cod sits on a picturesque corner lot just shy of an acre, surrounded by mature trees and the quiet charm that defines this special pocket of Barrington. Known for its lantern-lit, winding streets and close-knit feel, Jewel Park offers a sense of community that residents cherish, all just minutes from downtown Barrington and the Metra. A bluestone walkway leads to the welcoming front porch - the perfect place to start the day with coffee or unwind in the evening. Inside, you are greeted by a welcoming fireplace in the gracious foyer. Sunlight pours through oversized Marvin windows, warming the rich hardwood floors and thoughtfully crafted spaces designed for gathering and everyday living. The heart of the home is a dramatic two-story great room with exposed beams and a fireplace, where conversations linger and memories are made. The kitchen naturally brings everyone together, opening to a bright breakfast area that looks out over the beautifully landscaped yard, while French doors invite you outside to enjoy the patio and peaceful surroundings. The main level lives with ease, including a private primary retreat and three additional ensuite bedrooms, while the upper level offers an additional guest bedroom with hall bath, multiple office areas and a workout/media/rec room. Downstairs, the unfinished lower level features a wood-burning fireplace, a Generac generator, whole home filtration system and room for whatever one's heart desires. Beyond the home, life unfolds effortlessly - a short walk to Citizen's Park, Roslyn Elementary, and the Barrington Area Library, with downtown Barrington, Langendorf Park, and the Metra just moments away. In Jewel Park, neighbors know each other, seasons are celebrated, and everyday living feels just a little more special.
