Inspired by its natural surroundings, this hillside ranch is situated high on a hill overlooking a picturesque backdrop of mature oaks and pines that have been lovingly cultivated with trails and open space. Designed by the current owner's father with an Arts and Crafts design style, this home has an open plan feel and takes advantage of the views from both levels. The main level includes a spacious living area that blends into the dining room by way of a 3-sided stone fireplace. The eat-in kitchen boasts a huge walk-in pantry (48 sq. ft.), built-in double ovens, solid surface countertop with breakfast bar, planning desk and sliders to the screened in porch-a great place to enjoy a summer meal. The primary suite has floor to ceiling windows, taking in the wooded views plus a private bath with double vanities and walk-in closet. The adjacent office works beautifully for those working from home or could double as a nursery. A full laundry room and powder room round out this floor. Downstairs, you will find a family room with a fireplace from the same natural stone as the main floor, sliding doors to a sweet patio area, game room, 3 additional bedrooms, hall bath and plenty of room left over for storage. Besides the enchanting wooded lot, enjoy the sparkling in-ground pool that can be accessed from the primary bedroom suite deck, the screened in porch and a 3rd deck adjacent to it. Situated across the street from peaceful Barsumian Park and a short walk to the easement path at the bottom of the lake where you can launch a canoe or kayak or store in the communal racks. The Tower Lakes Area is a rare gem within Barrington and the northwest suburbs with the look and feel of a vacation area all year round including tennis courts, beach, walking paths, sports fields and so much more. Welcome Home to Tower Lakes!
