MULTIPLE offers received. All offers will be due by 9/15/24 at 5pm central. Mid-Century Modern lovers, this one's for you! Live in harmony with nature in this architecturally stunning Mid-Century Modern ranch home in Biltmore Estates. Driving into the property you feel like you are leaving the world behind. The wooded lot and prairie style landscaping welcome you as you approach the house that blends beautifully with its surroundings. Walls of windows bring the outside in throughout the house, creating a powerful sense of tranquility. Soaring ceilings contribute to a feeling of expansiveness in the home. Step through the double glass door entry into the wide foyer featuring a brick wall and MCM lighting fixture. To the right is the galley style kitchen with original Mutschler cabinets and more counter and storage space than anyone really needs. The large kitchen eat-in area is flooded with natural light thanks to the skylights and windows. The laundry is conveniently located behind an accordion door off the breakfast room. The sunken living room combines all of the most impressive features of this home- a wall of windows, soaring ceiling as well as a large brick fireplace. It's a room you never want to leave. Overlooking this room is the dining room with built in cabinetry and view of the backyard. Next to the dining room is a lovely room with another wall of windows and access to the back patio that can be used as a reading room, sitting room or music room (as the current owners are using it.) A freestanding red Majestic fireplace lights up this space and the adjacent bar/library room with parquet flooring. The vibe is alive and encourages creativity. The bedrooms occupy the left wing of the ranch house. The primary suite features a vaulted, beamed ceiling, hardwood floors, a wall of built-in closets and drawers, and looking out onto the deck and the back yard is another wall of windows. The placement of windows in this home is truly genius and must be credited to the architect- Charles Sexton Catlin. He built this house for the original owners. (The current owners are only the second family to own this house.) The primary bathroom features a fabulous marble shower positioned so that you have a view of the backyard while showering... don't worry, the window is tinted so no one can see in. The second bedroom is large with vaulted ceiling and has great closet space. The third bedroom is a bit smaller, but has parquet floors, vaulted, beamed ceiling, fabulous windows and a vintage modular teak wall unit. The second bathroom includes a small tub and shower as well as a skylight. On the opposite end of the house is the family room with a wall of built-in cabinetry and desk. But the best part is - another freestanding Mid-Century Modern fireplace and the windows! More windows bringing the beauty of this wooded lot in. Just off the family room is the mud room and the half-bath making this a convenient guest room as well. Off the mudroom you have doors on both sides- one door heads to the back yard and the other is the entrance from the breezeway between the house and the two-car garage. There is massive amounts of storage in both the breezeway as well as the garage. Around the backside of the garage is a utility/workshop that would also be the perfect spot for an office with just a few upgrades (such as adding a window and/or a glass door to allow for natural light.) The brick walkway around the house is adorned by landscaping lighting making this property ideal for entertaining. It is truly a special home in a wonderful neighborhood. The dead-end street location is adjacent to a wildlife preserve. Though it feels like you're hidden far away, Trader Joe's is only a 5 minute drive! Barrington High School is a 10-15 minute drive, depending on traffic. And the same goes for the Metra train station and downtown Barrington. The gorgeous trails of Grassy Lake are a 5 minute drive down the road.
