221 Coolidge Avenue

Authentic Sears Craftsman home in the Historic District of the village. Beautifully updated and maintained throughout, keeping the cozy charm & character of days gone by, combined with all the modern conveniences of today's lifestyle. 3 Bedrooms and 3 Baths, including one Bedroom on the main floor (could also be a home office) along with a full bath. 2 bedrooms and 1 Bath makeup the the 2nd floor and a full, dry unfinished basement with a 3rd full bath. Take a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood and see numerous beautiful, sometimes stately, historic homes, dating back as far as the 1860s. This home carries with it some history of its own. Irving Schumann the original builder of this house, lived here, with his wife and all 8 of their children. In the 1920s, Mr. Schumann was the master carpenter for the Chicago & Northwestern Railway, and was responsible for constructing the many station houses all along the northwest route of the railroad line. Schumann would have had a hand in constructing and maintaining the old Barrington railroad station house, which was moved to Barrington's Ice House Mall in 1978. This incredible location is 2 blocks from Hough Elementary School. Children won't have to cross any busy streets to get to school. Barrington High School is a little over a half-mile away. Just 3 blocks into town with all the parades, festivals, art fairs, sometimes live music and great food! Or just spend lazy warm summer days relaxing on the enclosed front porch and watching the world go by. Extra deep backyard is completely fenced. New siding and new solar panels on the back, which have reduced the electric bill down to 1/4 of what it was prior.
