Featured home: Rumstick house has character of past with modern updates

Posted

Situated on park-like grounds in the prime Rumstick Point neighborhood in Barrington, this totally renovated 1832 Colonial is the perfect blend of classic and medern, with more than 3,000 square feet of well-appointed and updated living space.

A seamless blend of the original 1832 construction, which was gutted in 2001, and a spectacular 2008 addition designed by architect and Barrington resident Scott Weymouth, the four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom home is rich wioth detail, including lovely front and back staircases.

The entry foyer boasts fabulous built-ins and is flanked by a home office or guest bedroom to the right, and a classic living room with a brick, wood-burning fireplace to the left. The formal dining room, with picture frame molding and a corner built-in, affords access to the private "dining patio" that is a great space for intimate entertaining in the warmer months.

The immaculate chef's kitchen has a beautiful tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances and granit countertops, including a breakfast bar that seats three.

The kitchen opens to a wonderful addition, with a casual dining area and family room with a soaring ceiling, custom built-ins and a stone-clad fireplace as its focal point.

The impressive family room is large enough for entertaining, yet cozy enough for everyday family use. The family room steps out to the deck, and the sweeping 0.6-acre lot run from Rumstick Road to South Meadow Lane and is surrounded by stone walls and mature plantings.

The second-fllor master suite is a private oasis, with a luxurious, modern full bath with high ceilings, a custom vanity, spacious shower and a spa-like soaking tub. The second floor also includes three additional bedrooms and an updated full bath.

The walk-out basement is ready to be finished and is a great space for a potential rec room, exercise room or guest suite. It is plumbed for a full bathroom and las low-profile HVAC duct work so as not to impinge on the ceiling height. The low-maintenance exterior was reclad with cement fiber siding in 2008 and looks like wood clapboards but is impervious to rot and bugs, is fire-resistant and has much less need for repainting. New windows were installed throughout the home in 2001 and 2008.

Other luxury features of the home include a central vacuum, whole-house sound system, heated floors in all three bathrooms, an outdoor shower, full first-floor laundry room with sink and storage, and central air conditioning.

The home is available for the asking price of $959,000. For more information, contact Anna Clancy, with Residential Properties, at 401-965-6746.
