Timeless Elegance In A Reimagined Luxury Estate

Designed by acclaimed architect Robert Parker Coffin and built by one of Chicago’s premier luxury builders, Orren Pickell, this extraordinary Barrington Hills estate sits on a breathtaking five-acre wooded setting with tranquil pond views and has been brought to an exceptional new standard through extensive 2025 and 2026 renovations. A fully reimagined chef’s kitchen, a new mudroom, and a new laundry room with double washers and dryers are among the headline updates - joined by new first-floor hardwood floors, all-new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning and water heaters, luxury plumbing and lighting fixtures throughout, and Benjamin Moore Cashmere paint in every room. And that’s just the beginning. A dramatic two-story foyer with a graceful curved staircase makes a stunning first impression, opening to a flowing, light-filled layout rich with custom millwork, arched passageways, gleaming new hardwood floors, and five fireplaces that add warmth, character, and sophistication throughout. The showstopping chef’s kitchen was completely reimagined from the studs out. Custom inset cabinetry, luminous quartzite countertops and slab backsplashes, an oversized island with breakfast bar, a full suite of Thermador appliances, and a walk-in pantry make the space as functional as it is beautiful.
