Location, Location, Location - a rare opportunity for buyers and investors alike! Charming Ranch Nestled in a Tree-Lined Barrington Neighborhood is set on a street that features a medley of quaint homes with spacious lots offering the perfect blend of privacy and community charm. Sitting on nearly half an acre (.495 acre), this classic ranch offers 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a full basement ready to be enjoyed in its as-is vintage charm or transformed as your heart desires. Boasting corner-lot appeal, this home stands out with its brick exterior, spacious driveway, mature greenery, and solid bones. Inside, you'll find generous room sizes, hardwood floors under the carpets in the bedrooms and living room (potentially also in the kitchen), and plenty of potential for modern updates. Whether you envision an open-concept living area or a complete redesign, this home offers a blank canvas to bring your ideas to life. Additional highlights include metal shutters for added protection and an expansive backyard perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or creating your dream outdoor oasis. Located within the highly sought-after Barrington School District and just minutes from downtown Barrington, the Metra, shopping, dining, and parks. Home is being sold as-is.
