Completely reimagined lakeview duplex in Lake Barrington Shores, gutted to the studs and remodeled top to bottom with no expense spared. Enjoy sweeping views of the Main Lake and Swan Lake from a private, wooded setting, resort-style living every day of the year. The open-concept kitchen features Thomasville cherry cabinets, quartz counters, a glass tile backsplash, LED under-cabinet lighting, and stainless steel appliances, including a new refrigerator. Oak hardwood flooring runs through the first and second floors, complemented by a custom oak staircase with wrought iron balusters. All-newer Pella and Andersen sliding doors and windows fill the home with natural light, and an electric fireplace with heater adds warmth and ambiance. Three and a half bathrooms have been fully remodeled. Major systems were replaced throughout: new 200-amp electrical panel with whole-house surge protector, all-new lighting fixtures, switches, and outlets, upgraded coaxial cable with cable booster throughout, an iWave air purifier, an Aprilaire whole-house humidifier, water softener, and whole-house coconut charcoal filtration system. A radon mitigation system is also in place for peace of mind. The lower level was upgraded with new insulation on exterior walls, wool insulation in the floor joists to reduce sound transfer between levels, and new vinyl plank flooring. The original wall between units was removed and replaced with QuietRock soundproof drywall on the first and second floors for a seamless, single-family feel. The primary bedroom and bath were expanded, and the washer/dryer was relocated to the top floor with a dryer vent booster fan installed for efficiency. Additional updates include a new roof, new garage door, direct-access garage, custom shutters, and a mud-jacked and leveled concrete patio. All of this within the sought-after, resort-style community of Lake Barrington Shores, offering a private fishing lake with kayaks, canoes, and sunfish sailboats; a walking and biking path around the lake; a fitness center with indoor and outdoor pools; a recreation center; tennis, paddle, and pickleball courts; and a private beach with stunning sunset views.
