Description
Luxurious, sophisticated, and timeless, this magnificent Barrington Hills estate is perfectly sited on a premier 5-acre waterfront setting-offering sweeping views, extraordinary privacy, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout. Custom millwork, arched passageways, gleaming hardwood floors, and five fireplaces create an atmosphere of warmth and refinement, while the home’s flowing, light-filled layout invites effortless indoor/outdoor living. A grand two-story foyer with a curved staircase sets an elegant tone, revealing beautiful sightlines to the rear grounds. Formal living and dining rooms are complemented by a well-appointed butler’s pantry with wet bar-ideal for hosting with ease. The striking great room impresses with soaring beamed cathedral ceilings, a dramatic brick fireplace, and an inviting, rustic-chic ambiance perfect for intimate gatherings. The newly renovated chef’s kitchen is a true showpiece with custom inset cabinetry, quartzite counters, an oversized island with breakfast bar, high-end Thermador appliances, and a walk-in pantry. The adjoining breakfast room, wrapped in windows and featuring a charming bay window seat, frames picturesque views. Step directly outside to the bluestone patio and covered grilling station for seamless al fresco dining. A richly appointed main-floor library with cherry built-ins offers a quiet retreat or refined work-from-home space, conveniently located near a full bath. A spacious laundry room, mudroom with service entrance, rear staircase, and powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, the craftsmanship continues with a luxurious primary suite featuring a cozy fireplace, spa-like bath with whirlpool tub, glass door shower, and dual walk-in closets. Three generously sized secondary bedrooms-one ensuite and two sharing a Jack-and-Jill bath-along with a nursery or second office provide exceptional flexibility. A private guest wing enhances the home’s versatility with its own living room, full kitchen, and ensuite bedroom, making it ideal for in-laws, long-term guests, or nanny. The expansive walkout lower level delivers even more living and entertaining space with a large recreation area, second kitchen, dining space, and direct access to the bluestone patio. A dedicated media/theater room, game or fitness room, wine cellar, half bath, and ensuite bedroom round out this impressive level. A heated 4-car garage with epoxy flooring, plus a large carport, accommodates guests and gatherings with ease. Multiple terraces, blue stone patios and pathways invite you to savor tranquil views of the pond and natural surroundings in every season. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, this remarkable estate offers a rare blend of beauty, privacy, and convenience-just minutes to town, train, riding trails, shopping, dining, and award-winning District 220 schools.
