Wake up every morning to gorgeous lake views from the master bedroom! Once an eclectic mix of summer cottages and homes for Chicago residents, Tower Lakes is now an idyllic close-knit community with lakes, tennis & volleyball courts located near expansive forest preserves perfect for hiking, biking, and cross country skiing. You won't find a better place to enjoy the great outdoors. This home will check all of your boxes beginning with great curb appeal and awesome lake views from the expansive newer composite deck with cedar rails and aluminum balusters (2015). You'll even look forward to doing dishes while enjoying the view! Hardwood floors on both main levels. Spacious master retreat with newer spa bath (2014). New interior paint in today's neutral color palette (2021). First floor bedroom with adjacent full bath can also serve as an ideal office. You'll want to grab a book and a glass of wine and spend restful hours (or maybe days!) in the lower level walk-out family room. This room oozes character with bluestone floor, stone accent wall and a wall of windows that allows sunlight to flood the space! There is also a great space for a kids playroom or teen hangout space and a powder room. Cedar-lined closet with vintage "icebox" door once served as a wine cellar. Enjoy neighborhood activities - Fall Chili Cookoff; tons of Youth activities; 4th of July celebration with parade; Men's Day; sailing/kayaking; ice skating/fishing; tennis/pickleball, concerts at nearby gazebo...the list goes on and on! Tower Lakes is conveniently located near both Barrington & Fox River Grove Metra stations. Current owners have added the front eaves and dormers along with replacing the roof, gutters, siding and bay windows (approx. 2010). Newer washer/dryer (2019), furnace/humidifier (2010), AC (2014). 3 car tandem garage has more than enough space for all your "big boy toys"! Award winning Barrington schools.
