Authentic 1926 Sears Bungalow in Prime Village Location! Set on an extraordinary extra-deep lot (63' x 293'), this charming 4-bedroom, 2-bath bungalow blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates with a 2007 addition including Kitchen/Eating Area, Mud Room and covered porches. Built in 1926 and lovingly maintained, the home showcases hallmark bungalow architecture-wide eaves, wood cornices, and decorative brackets-lending warmth and curb appeal. The large, inviting front porch features a classic porch swing, brick & wood craftsman-style columns and a center entry. Inside, the main level features close to 9-foot ceilings, original moldings, new wood floors (2007 & 2020) and a brick wood-burning fireplace that anchors the living room. A natural flow leads to the formal dining room, where a built-in buffet and walk-in pantry offer both style and function. The expansive kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring 42" Amish-style cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances, abundant storage, a second buffet, a center island, and a double window over the stainless farm sink with views of the oversized backyard and mature trees. A generous eating area opens through French doors to the patio-perfect for grilling and dining alfresco. A main-level den provides flexible space for a home office or playroom, while the mudroom offers closet storage & a built-in bench with cubbies. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom is joined by three additional bedrooms with excellent closet space and a second full bath. The full basement includes a finished rec room, generous storage, and an unfinished portion with 9-foot ceilings, from a 2007 addition, offers excellent possibilities. Outside, a 2-car garage and garden shed provide even more storage. North Avenue is one of the Village's most desirable streets, known for its oversized lots and unbeatable location-just a short distance to the Metra train, restaurants, coffee shops, Citizen's Park, walking trails, the library, and award-winning District 220 schools. Truly a lovely home and opportunity for you to put down your roots and enjoy Village living in the heart of Barrington!
