1025 Oakland Drive

Immaculate & move-in ready home on quiet interior lot in sought-after Lakeview of Barrington. What makes this neighborhood a long-time Barrington favorite? First and foremost is the sense of community created by kids walking to school together (K-8) down the neighborhood sidewalk that leads directly to both Blue Ribbon Lines Elementary and Station Middle School along with the various adult activities offered. Add to that the easy walk or bike to Village shopping/dining, the Metra Station, plus city water and sewer and you can see why so many buyers appreciate this great location. Located east of the CN rail line, you'll enjoy easy access to your expressway commute without delays. Located within the Village you will qualify for in-district Park District pricing on the pool, health club & classes. Now let's talk about this great home! Originally a builder's model, this home has many upgrades throughout. The owners have also added many features and have remodeled key spaces so you literally can move in and not have to do anything! The exterior features a newer fire retardant cedar shake roof, gutters with leaf-guards and downspouts (2017). There's even a lightening protection system on the roof! The exterior was fully repainted (2019). From the 2-story entrance foyer you will catch glimpses of the many inviting spaces within. The living room with vaulted ceiling is flooded with natural light through the walls of windows. The kitchen will be your new favorite place to prepare both family meals and entertain large groups of friends. The kitchen features 42" maple cabinets, Jenn-Air 5-burner gas cooktop, double ovens, brand new granite & deep double stainless sink! The refrigerator, ovens & cooktop are newer (2018).The adjacent butler's pantry provides ample space for storage & serving! (2020). You can feed a crowd at the center island and large breakfast room. Three fireplaces (2 with gas logs) create romantic spaces in the living room, dining room, and master retreat. Calling it a master retreat hardly does it justice. The first space you enter is a large master sitting room with fireplace. To the rear of the sitting room you'll enter the calm & quiet sleeping chamber with tray ceiling and built-in speakers. Continuing down the hall you come to his/her HUGE walk-in closets with organizers. The master spa bath (completely new in 2018) has double vanity with marble-look quartz counter, huge walk-in shower with Raindance shower system, temperature control & frameless door, plus freestanding tub! Rounding out the upstairs is a princess suite and two additional large bedrooms with a spacious hall bath with double vanity. Morning traffic jams will be a distant memory with 3 baths upstairs!
