239 Beverly Barrington, IL 60010

239 Beverly Road is the Mid-Century Modern ranch you’ve been seeking! Featured as the Chicago Tribune’s Home of the Week in March 1963, this Harry N. Johnson-designed home in Barrington Meadows was celebrated for its novel floor plan, triangular marble-floored foyer, sunken living spaces, and seamless indoor-outdoor design. With features such as exposed brick, a sunken living room, vaulted ceilings, large fireplace, clean lines, exposed cross beams, slate, travertine and cork floors, this home brings the best of Mid-Century Modern vibes. Upon entry, step into a bright and open foyer with the eat-in kitchen straight ahead, powder room to the left, and the fabulous sunken living room to the right. Off of the living room is the “imagination room,” as was coined by the architect, which leads to the exterior patio. A beautiful exterior brick wall is what catches the eye at the end of the hallway to the three bedrooms. The bedrooms have vaulted ceilings and large closets with a very peaceful energy. The full bathroom is ready for the a new owner’s ideas. Complete with a sunken shower and a private exterior walled-in Japanese garden, this bathroom is naturally lit and full of possibility. Off of the two-car attached garage is a small mud room and access to the small basement, which was designed as a tornado shelter and contains the laundry room and mechanicals. The house was built on a concrete slab, keeping it very cool in the summers. The current homeowners have taken wonderful care of this home and did many updates throughout. Located in the small and charming subdivision of Barrington Meadows, it is a short walk to a preschool, Lines Elementary, Station Middle School, and the heart of the Village of Barrington. Only 1 mile to the commuter Metra train!
