Tower Lakes IL Real Estate & Homes for Sale

Very rarely does a home exude such a strong presence that it is difficult to capture in words. This is one such home! The curb appeal alone sets it apart as you drive up to the property surrounded by a low stone wall reminiscent of New England. So much architectural interest on this home situated on a hill with gorgeous sweeping views of the main lake from nearly every room as well as the screened porch and firepit area. The home exudes casual elegance and comfortable, warm vibes. It would have been the perfect setting for a classic movie like Father of the Bride. You will sense the history as you enter the front door of this home that has only changed hands a few times in its life. The main gathering room has incredible views and the perfect fireplace for curling up with a glass of wine after you've finished a long kayak ride on the lake. Parties will naturally spill over into the farmhouse kitchen, dining room and screened porch from the gathering room. Picture nights of playing Scrabble or Monopoly on the screened porch overlooking the lake while enjoying the sounds of summer drifting up...you won't want those evenings to end! A first floor office/den is the ideal place to work remote. The powder room was remodeled in 2021. Kitchens are the heart of the home and this one does not disappoint. Dine with unobstructed lake views! The kitchen was remodeled in 2008 and has an awesome island ideal for seating a crowd or spreading out a buffet. Whip up your favorite breakfasts or huge holiday feasts on the Thermador 4 burner gas range with griddle and hood above. Stainless French door refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher and in-island microwave. The farm sink and granite counters complete the picture. The sellers added recessed lighting and doors to the exterior. Upstairs you will find 4 bedrooms and two full baths. The owner's retreat is just that. The newly remodeled bath (2023) is the perfect place to wash away the stresses of the day. The retreat is divided into a sleeping chamber that easily accommodates a king bed. Open your eyes to more of those gorgeous lake views every morning! In addition there is a large dressing room that is the ideal place to spread out your outfits or to read in the middle of the night without bothering your partner. This would make an ideal 2nd office if needed! The three auxilliary bedrooms all have cedar closets! Almost all the windows are between 2 and 15 years old (the majority being 5 years old). The small outbuilding is grandfathered in and is the only one in Tower Lakes. It would make a great place to change near the hot tub or an inspiring artists' studio. Let your imagination run wild! Tower Lakes is a sought after community that once served as a village of summer cottages that served downtown Chicago residents primarily in the summer. With a wonderful lake, tennis, basketball and volleyball there is a special community vibe. From the Chili cook-off or July 4th picnic that can last for days you will immediately feel connected. Blue Ribbon Barrington schools! Close to both the Fox River Grove and Barrington Metra stations you will have a convenient commute.
