About 135 W Lake Street

Nestled on Lake Street that great street - the Gold Coast of Barrington- this extraordinary Painted Lady - a Queen Anne Victorian masterpiece - is a rare blend of timeless elegance and modern luxury. Built in 1893, this grande dame has been lovingly reimagined to honor its historic charm while offering every contemporary convenience including 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and an outdoor oasis with an in-ground pool. Step through the stately French doors and into a world of architectural splendor. Original details like intricate stained glass windows, ornate gypsum ceiling moldings, fluted pilasters, 10-inch baseboards, dazzling crystal chandeliers, and meticulously crafted parquetry floors set the stage. These period features are seamlessly complemented by thoughtful modern updates, including a stunning two-tone gourmet kitchen with quartzite counters, a marble chevron backsplash, designer copper farmhouse sink, and a Viking range. The mudroom and sunroom additions are just as impressive, featuring Victorian-era Brighton-patterned ceramic flooring, decorative beveled glass windows, and a vaulted beamed ceiling that radiates sophistication.The second floor hosts three of the home's five bedrooms, alongside a cozy library/loft perfect for quiet study or showcasing your literary treasures. The primary suite is a private sanctuary, with exquisite parquetry flooring, a spa-like ensuite bath boasting a Kallista marble vanity, clawfoot tub, tiled multi-head shower, and a walk-in closet designed with care. The third floor, with its two additional bedrooms, loft, and full bathroom, is ideal for teens or guests. Outside, the magic continues on a sprawling double lot with sparkling in-ground pool, outdoor grill and charming coach home ready to host unforgettable gatherings where lifelong memories will be made. The detached three-car garage features a finished second-floor bonus room - perfect as a home office, gym, or creative space. Located just moments from downtown Barrington, you'll enjoy easy access to the Metra, boutique shops, eclectic dining, and top-rated District 220 schools. This is more than a home; it's the ultimate Barrington lifestyle. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of history where timeless beauty meets modern living.
