The communities of southwest corner Lake County are blessed with a variety of housing types, from large estate homes to affordable homes in quiet neighborhoods. There are still available open spaces to build a dream home. This month we asked Renee Clark with the Barrington office of @Properties to give us three options that are emblematic of the choices available to folks seeking a single-family home locally.
Luxurious Retreat in Barrington: 25890 W. Crest Hill Drive, Barrington, is a one-of-a-kind retreat. This 4 bedroom, 2.2 bath, fully customized ranch is nestled on a professionally landscaped 5-acre property, featuring a serene pond with two fountains and a private island. The home boasts a stunning entry with an expansive foyer and walls of picture windows. The entry opens to the living room and family room, separated by a beautiful see-through fireplace with custom ceramic logs and rare pink granite surround. Large picture windows provide a stunning view of the lush landscape. The kitchen is generously sized and professionally designed and the central gathering place of the home. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with high-end Wolf appliances, and a built-in coffee maker supplied by filtered water. Gather around the oversized island to engage the cook or enjoy a casual meal and conversation. The expansive primary suite is spectacular, a gorgeous bedroom with a cathedral ceiling and wall of windows overlooking the beautiful backyard. The luxurious spa bath boasts an oversized shower, dual floating vanities, heated floors and a private screened porch. There are two expansive closets with handmade custom organizers.
