Sottomarino Barrington

Set within Barrington’s gated golf community, this distinguished Ken Payne built, all-brick Transitional home commands breathtaking views of the fifth fairway. Framed by meticulously curated landscaping and timeless architecture, the residence seamlessly blends classic touches with thoughtful updates. A dramatic two-story great room serves as the heart of the home, where soaring ceilings, a stately fireplace, custom built-ins, a wet bar, and walls of windows create an unforgettable setting flooded with natural light and panoramic golf course vistas. Formal living and dining rooms offer refined spaces for entertaining, while a richly appointed library provides a private retreat for work. The recently refreshed chef’s kitchen has been thoughtfully reimagined with new quartz countertops, sink and faucet, refinished custom Amish cabinetry with soft-close drawers, new appliances including a gas cooktop and refrigerator, and elegant under-cabinet lighting that highlights every detail. The main-level primary suite offers a private sanctuary, featuring vaulted ceilings, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath with an upgraded shower. Upstairs, three generously proportioned bedrooms and two full baths are accessed by dual staircases, enhancing both flow and functionality. The finished lower level extends the home’s living and entertaining possibilities with a spacious family room, full bath, and convenient garage access. Throughout the residence, fresh designer paint palettes, new carpeting, and extensive LED lighting create a bright, contemporary aesthetic. Significant mechanical investments—including high-efficiency furnaces, water heaters, and a new air-conditioning system—provide exceptional comfort and peace of mind for years to come. A maintenance-free deck invites effortless outdoor living, overlooking the lush fairways and water views that define this remarkable setting. Impeccably maintained and thoughtfully updated, this is country club living at its best.
