316 Waseca Avenue

This 4-bed, 2-bath expanded cape is close to everything Barrington has to offer but is far from the ordinary. Its exceptional location provides all the conveniences of in-town living, along with easy access to a world of tranquility and recreation in its backyard. Abutting the East Bay bike path, the property's neighbors include the Bayside Family YMCA and the 206-acre Veteran's Memorial Park with its many winding nature trails and Brickyard Pond. The property's quarter-acre-plus corner lot is fenced and landscaped for added privacy and enjoyment. Built in 2000 and expanded in 2004, the home's thoughtful layout features an abundance of inviting living spaces. In addition to a traditional living room with a gas fireplace and dining room, there's a family room adjacent to the kitchen. A surprising bonus is the beautifully finished, sun-filled 598-square foot lower level complete with normal-room-height ceilings, double-hung windows and engineered hardwood floors. Outside living area includes a pergola-covered deck to enjoy the well-landscaped yard. Recent updates include solar (virtually free electric) newer roof, central air, hot water tank, resurfaced driveway and more.
