470 Pinewoods Dr, North Barrington, IL 60010

Set high on a hill on almost a 1.5 acre lot and surrounded by beautifully landscaped perennial gardens, this impeccable residence blends timeless charm with modern updates. From the moment you arrive, you'll notice the attention to detail: a new asphalt (2023) and brick paver driveway, a custom front fence (2024) and newer front steps and front door (1-2 years old) welcome you inside. The foyer sets the tone with its porcelain tile floor, beautiful moldings and a graceful, curved staircase with hardwood treads. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat featuring a sitting room, recessed lighting and oversized his/hers walk-in closets. French doors lead to a luxurious primary bath with newer lighting, double sinks, a separate shower and a jacuzzi-style tub. Two additional oversized bedrooms provide abundant closet space, one with a private ensuite bath. It's rare to find a home with 3 full baths on the second level - the hall bath has double sinks and a tub/shower combo. An exposed brick accent wall completes the second level. On the main level, you'll find spacious living and entertaining areas. The living room offers a wood-burning fireplace, crown molding, recessed lighting and a curved window with a charming window seat. The family room boasts a second large fireplace, oversized windows flooding the space with natural light and is open to the recently remodeled kitchen. The chef's kitchen (updated approximately 2 years ago) features quartz counters, white cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Whirlpool double ovens, KitchenAid dishwasher, Dacor gas cooktop, white farm sink, deep pantry, brick wall detail and new lighting. The formal dining room is located just outside of the kitchen. A Dutch door in the eat-in kitchen leads to the brick paver patio. A screened porch with beadboard ceiling, updated lighting and electricity extends your living space outdoors and overlooks a neighboring pond (not part of property). Almost all the main level has gleaming hardwood flooring with the living room boasting an elegantly painted hardwood floor. The layout lends itself to being perfect for hosting holidays and parties with the living room flowing seamlessly into the screened porch. A main level bedroom with distressed tile floor and closet with organizer could serve as a guest suite, office or first-floor primary. A full bath with walk-in shower is conveniently nearby. The partially finished English basement offers flexible living space with a carpeted rec room, game room with wine cellar and fridge, barn-door entry to a tiled bonus room (currently being used as a bedroom but could be an office or workout area) and a large laundry area with LG washer/dryer and utility sink. Additional highlights include: Newer carpet on second level - approximately 5 years old; 2-car garage; newer asphalt roof - approximately 7 years old; invisible fence; lawn irrigation system; 3 sump pumps (one of which is newer and sealed with a battery backup system and alarm); water heater less than a year old; extensive storage space including a cedar closet; all copper piping replaced with PVC and a reverse osmosis system. This immaculate home seamlessly combines elegance, comfort and modern updates in a picturesque setting.
