Inside, the home offers equally impressive living and entertaining spaces: a dramatic two-story entry with dual bridal staircases, soaring ceilings in the living room, a formal dining room with butler’s pantry, and a richly appointed study. The chef’s kitchen and breakfast room are a daily delight, with panoramic views of the grounds. The first-floor primary wing is a private sanctuary with dual spa-like baths, oversized walk-in closets, and a dedicated office. Upstairs, two spacious bedroom suites each feature ensuite baths and double walk-ins. The lower level is packed with amenities including an oversized rec room, a fitness studio, wine cellar, sauna, and even a hidden passageway for a touch of whimsy. A separate heated four-car garage includes a charming one-bedroom, 1.1-bath guest house-perfect for extended family, guests, or a live-in caretaker. This is more than just a home-it’s a lifestyle. Secluded yet just minutes from downtown Barrington, Metra, shopping, dining, and award-winning District 220 schools. A rare opportunity to own a true retreat, with all the makings of a luxury equestrian estate.
