Property Description
A storybook house straight out of a Nancy Meyers movie, right in the heart of the Village of Barrington. 547 S Summit is cozy, sophisticated and so easy to love, with over 5,000 square feet of living space across four levels, including the finished basement. Set on an oversized lot on a quiet village block, the rebuilt front porch and all-new landscaping steal the show. Grab your coffee, pull up a chair and wave to the neighbors as they stroll by. Inside, the 18-foot foyer sets the tone with custom lighting, a designer stair runner and wall detailing. The main floor offering 9 foot ceilings, flows the way you actually live: a bright kitchen with a big island and eating area, a great room with 15-foot ceilings, a flexible living room (dining room, music room, your call), a home office, a stylish powder room and a mudroom/laundry off the attached 2.5-car garage, a rare find in the village. Oversized windows open the kitchen to the backyard, where a new deck, patio and landscaping lead to a putting green, a screened gazebo with electricity and plenty of green space. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat with vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet and a spa-like bath with a freestanding tub and double vanity. Three more bedrooms, one with its own bath, plus a hall bath round out the second floor. The third floor adds a bedroom, sitting room and full bath: guest suite, studio, creative space, you name it. Downstairs, the English basement brings the fun with a huge rec and game room, fitness room, half bath and tons of storage. Recent updates include all-new windows, siding, front door, gutters and soffits, added insulation and a 2024 furnace to name a few. Walk to village shops, restaurants, the Metra (express to downtown in 46 minutes) and all three District 220 schools: Hough Street Elementary, Barrington Middle School-Station and Barrington High School. Your happily ever after starts here.
