336 E Hillside Ave

The admirable 336 E. Hillside is a proud statement in the Village of Barrington with its striking red exterior spanning across the elevated double parcel while overshadowing some of the most phenomenal views the Village offers. The charm of this 4,275 square foot home is well-balanced with refinements over the years that leaves you wanting more with every turn! An exceptionally welcoming entry unfolds to an adjacent living room consumed with natural light and French doors to a sprawling family room. The family is brilliantly designed with a brick fireplace as the focal point of the room complimented by accent windows on each side, tray ceilings, and a back wall of glass emphasizing the views from an aerial perspective while shadowing open land between homes on either side. The family room is ideal for entertaining with its easy access to the deck, brick patio, and newly fenced yard. The designer of this 1988 build was decades ahead of their time with an open concept from the family room to a kitchen fit to accommodate culinary arts at its greatest lengths. The custom eat-in kitchen is finished with 42" cherry cabinets, granite counters, stainless steel appliances including a double oven, expansive breakfast bar with built-in microwave, butcher block counter, stunning backsplash, incredible views of the yard, and pivotal door access to an exquisite dining room. The dining room creates a vibe of its own with floor-to-ceiling windows and enough space to host any number of guests. The main floor also showcases hardwood floors throughout, a charming powder room, and a generous laundry room. The second floor is equally impressive with 4 beautiful bedrooms each with stand-alone character and 2 full bathrooms. 1 of 4 bedrooms is a private suite with floor-to-ceiling windows on 2 sides, a separate sitting room with built-in bookshelves, a fireplace, bay windows, and easy access to the master bathroom. The master bath is a clever design with double vanities, a large shower, and an adjacent walk-in closet. The shared hallway bathroom features a beautiful vanity and shower/tub combination. Full finished English lower level with wet bar, media area, game room, 5th bedroom/office, and a full bathroom with single vanity and shower. Attached 2-car side load garage! Serene wrought iron fenced yard with views of the entire N. block creating an exceptional sanctuary and space to entertain.
