Quintessential vintage country home on 1.5 acres in Barrington Hills. A timeless blend of the one room Haeger School House (circa 1842) and modern updated amenities bring a priceless character to this retreat. The open floor plan offers charming chef's kitchen with Viking range, butcher block island, vintage cabinetry, original hardwood flooring and farmhouse sink. Open living and dining room are perfect for entertaining. Professionally refreshed, with lavish custom bathroom, expanded laundry/mudroom, and special nostalgic finishes throughout. The main floor master bedroom opens to a private blue flagstone patio. There's an additional bedroom on the main floor and a smaller third one upstairs. The delightful potting room has been repurposed as a porch. Fully fenced beautifully landscaped yard with towering Hickory and Oak trees; perfect for gardening, children, pets and horses. This historically rich home has over $125,000 in new upgrades and is ready for a quick closing.
