This Dutch Colonial on Woodland Road in Barrington is a perfect example of what’s happening in the “luxury” homes market. A few years ago, it would be considered a really nice, upper middle class home in a great neighborhood, close to the center of town off Rumstick Road in Barrington — the type of home that might sell for about $700,000.
