Monthly Estimate* How much can I afford?

Location, character, and walkability-135 Russell Street has all three! Tucked into Barrington's historic Village neighborhood, this 1917 charmer puts restaurants, shops, the Metra, community events, and Hough Street Elementary right outside your door. Once the local Methodist church parsonage and later moved from its first site near Memorial Park, this 4 bedroom, 2 bath home offers a rare blend of century-old craftsmanship and thoughtful updates throughout. Step inside to original hardwood floors, substantial trim and moldings, built-ins, paneled doors, arched openings, and tall windows that flood every room with natural light. The spacious kitchen is made for gathering, with stainless steel appliances, generous cabinetry and counter space, and a long island with seating for everyone, opening to a sunny rear family room with southern exposure. The dramatic living room is a true showstopper, featuring a soaring ceiling, upper and lower windows, a gas fireplace, and built-in sound system. A separate dining room with a large bay window and a refreshed full bath complete the main level. Upstairs you'll find four bright bedrooms, including an oversized primary, along with a stunning renovated full bath with a granite-topped vanity and classic white subway tile tub/shower. Out back, the rebuilt and refinished wraparound deck overlooks a fenced yard with professional landscaping, a brick patio, and mature surroundings - the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The detached two car garage offers new doors and mechanicals plus a newer epoxy floor. Back inside, the partially finished basement adds approximately 800 square feet for recreation, storage, and laundry. Modern updates include a smart thermostat, smart video doorbells, a whole house humidifier, and reverse osmosis system providing filtered water at the kitchen sink and refrigerator. Set on a quiet, tree-lined street surrounded by turn of the century architecture, you are just steps from downtown dining and shopping, the Metra, Barrington's White House, and every event on the town calendar. Also nearby are award-winning Barrington 220 schools including Hough Street Elementary and Barrington High School, with both an easy walk away. Vintage details, modern updates, exceptional schools, and a location you simply can't beat-this is quintessential Barrington Village living!
