Rare Pond & Golf Course View Townhome in Lake Barrington Shores! Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the newer section of Lake Barrington Shores, this beautifully updated, sun-filled home captures breathtaking pond and golf course views while offering convenient access to the Kelsey/Route 59 gate. Designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining, this spacious two-story townhome with a full walkout basement features 2 bedrooms plus a lower-level bedroom/office, 3.1 baths, and an open floor plan that lives beautifully. The dramatic living room is highlighted by soaring volume ceilings and a striking double-sided fireplace that creates warmth and ambiance in both the living and family rooms. Refinished hardwood flooring flows throughout the main living spaces, while the main and upper levels have been freshly painted within the last 4-5 years. The updated kitchen blends style and function with white cabinetry, Corian countertops, a breakfast bar, skylights, newer lighting over the peninsula and dining area, high-end appliances, and a refrigerator replaced approximately 2 years ago. Thoughtful upgrades throughout include recessed lighting, crown molding, built-in bookshelves, newer Pella windows and patio doors, and an updated powder room. The primary suite serves as a private retreat, featuring a spacious walk-in closet, heated bathroom floors, an oversized shower, and a vanity already plumbed for a second sink. The second bedroom enjoys its own private bath, offering comfort and privacy for family or guests. Convenience is enhanced with two laundry areas, including washer and dryer sets on both the upper and lower levels. The walkout lower level expands the living space with a large recreation/family room anchored by a cozy fireplace, radiant heated floors in the main living area and bathroom, a full bath, and a versatile third bedroom or office overlooking tranquil water views. Direct access to the patio and backyard creates a seamless connection to the outdoors. Additional major improvements include a tankless water heater and new furnace and air conditioning system, all installed within the last 4-5 years. Start your mornings with coffee overlooking the shimmering pond, unwind in the evening as the sun sets across the golf course, and enjoy peaceful views from both the private balcony and walkout patio.
