Tucked away, nature-wrapped, and built for fun-this light-filled Timberlake Estates retreat sits on approximately 1.3 wooded acres. From the moment you step inside, the home feels like an everyday escape: natural light pours in, the layout flows effortlessly, and every level offers room to spread out, gather, and truly live. The dramatic great room is the heart of it all, with soaring ceilings and expansive windows that pull the landscape in: bright, open, and instantly calming.The main level includes three bedrooms, including the primary suite, plus a sunlit greenhouse that’s perfect for morning coffee, plant lovers, or a cozy reading nook. The lower level adds two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a generous family room/flex space with a wet bar rough-in (hot/cold already piped in)-ideal for movie nights, game space, guests, or work-from-home flexibility. Outdoor living is the headline, and this property delivers it in a big way with an expansive 400 sq ft deck and a 100 sq ft pergola overhead. Under the pergola sits an outdoor kitchen that features a brick BBQ and the entire setup creates the ultimate outdoor setting for gathering and play. Enjoy a putting green with chipping area, commercial-size playground, commercial-rated trampoline, tree house, skate ramp/half pipe, and even frisbee golf throughout the yard – this is the kind of setting that becomes the backdrop for birthdays, summer nights, and “remember when” moments. Recent improvements are extensive: updated lighting on both levels, fresh paint throughout, newly poured garage concrete, newer driveways (2023), new soffits with integrated lighting, newer composite balcony decking, Renewal by Andersen front door (2019),newer garage doors (2021) and newer roof (2018).A residential elevator serving all levels and a lift at the entry provide exceptional flexibility, complemented by a reinforced safe room with a steel safe door and whole-house generator for added peace of mind. And then there’s the neighborhood-because Timberlake Estates isn’t just a location, it’s a lifestyle. Set in North Barrington and served by Barrington School District 220, this lake community offers a private beach and playground (with summer lifeguards), a stocked 46-acre lake for fishing, boating and sailing right in the neighborhood. Residents love the year-round traditions-from Fourth of July celebrations to seasonal events and community gatherings-and you’re also close to dining and shopping in Wauconda, Lake Zurich, and Barrington. True lake-community living, and a home that feels like a legacy in the making-this is Barrington-area living at its most memorable.
