They just don't make neighborhoods like Fox Point anymore! Welcome home to 165 N Valley, where every day feels like a vacation. Tucked into Fox Point - the most sought-after spot in all of Barrington - this five-bedroom brick Cape Cod sits on over a half-acre of land, one of the larger lots in the neighborhood, and is bursting with character. You're a quick walk to the elementary and middle schools in the esteemed Barrington 220 district, plus Fox Point amenities like the outdoor pool and cabana, tennis and pickleball, a playground, Lake Louise access, community events and more. Inside, 3,400 square feet of above-ground living starts on a front porch made for watching the day go by. A gracious foyer and staircase welcome you in, while the dramatic wood-paneled living room with built-in bookshelves is straight-up design-worthy. The adjacent dining room is generously sized, and the fireplace-warmed family room opens right to the kitchen for that perfect open-concept flow. The roomy mudroom and laundry offer plenty of storage, and the main-floor back room makes an ideal work-from-home office or flex nook. Upstairs you'll find five bedrooms and two full baths, while the unfinished full basement downstairs offers endless possibility. Out back, the patio and fire pit are built for entertaining - think football and wiffle ball games all season long. Add an attached two-car garage, newer roof and mechanicals, and you've got it all. Minutes to downtown Barrington with shops, restaurants, and the express Metra to the city in just 46 minutes. Don't miss it!
