Nestled on 5 acres in Barrington Hills, this luxurious 12,000 sq ft, 5 bed, 5.2 bath brick country manor harkens back to homes in the South of France. The long and curving drive is lined with beautiful Japanese Maples and ends at a circular drive that surrounds a fountain...a wonderful accent to the stately front entry way. Decorated in a warm French Provincial color palette with timeless touches like elegant chandeliers, exposed wooden beams, hand-carved moldings, built-in cabinetry, elaborate fireplaces, granite countertops, and coffered ceilings make it chic and elegant, but at the same time, not overdone. Its grand staircase is a centerpiece surrounded by beautiful marble floors, carved wooden niches, and cathedral ceilings. On its wings are a classically traditional home office/library and dining room. Just behind it lies the bar and family room with a floor-to-ceiling fireplace and breath-taking views. The secluded master suite is to the left. Its original design includes a living room, fireplace, 2 walk-in closets, 2 water closets, steam shower and soaking tub. Since the original owner never finished it, it is waiting for your finishing touches. In the gourmet kitchen, the French interior design style strikes that ideal balance between intricate details and high-end style with casual effortlessness. There is a sizable center island and Subzero appliances, just to mention a few of those details. Adjacent to this is the open-concept living room with floor-to-ceiling fireplace and amazing views of the deck and expansive anterior of the property. Just across the hallway, there is also a butler's pantry, a hall bath, a mudroom (with access to the 4 car garage), and an additional staircase to access the 2nd floor. Each of the 4 bedrooms on the second floor show an appreciation for sophisticated and unique details and is suited with an en suite bath and walk-in closet for personal privacy. Additionally offered on this level are a laundry room with two attached storage rooms and a loft space which overlooks the living room. Downstairs, there is an amazing 6,000 sq ft unfinished walk-out basement with a fireplace available to finish with an additional bedroom, family room, cinema room, wine cellar or as you wish. Beyond the lush landscaping, there is enough space in the backyard for a pool, tennis court, or maybe even horses. This magnificent French Country home is the perfect mix of rustic elements and elegant details. Barrington Schools. Just minutes to Metra, restaurants, and shopping.
