Welcome to this timeless country estate, gracefully set on five picturesque acres and thoughtfully designed for luxurious everyday living. Offering 5 bedrooms, 6 full and 1 half baths, a sparkling inground pool, and a beautifully appointed barn with paddocks and pastures, this exceptional property blends classic elegance with modern comfort. A comprehensive renovation in 2005, including the addition of a spectacular main-level primary suite wing, allows this classic Colonial to live like a ranch while still offering the spaciousness of a two-story home. Inside, gleaming hardwood floors, exquisite custom millwork, refinished marble, oversized windows, architectural details, and custom window treatments create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere throughout. The professionally landscaped grounds are a true retreat, featuring lush gardens along with mature pear and apple trees that enhance the property's idyllic setting. Elegant formal living and dining rooms provide inviting spaces for entertaining, while the gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, complete with an oversized island, custom cabinetry, marble countertops, walk-in pantry, premium appliances, and an adjoining breakfast room. Three sets of French doors open directly to the pool, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. Just beyond, the spacious family room offers a stunning stone fireplace, dry bar, and beautiful views of the backyard and pool. The private primary suite wing is nothing short of extraordinary, featuring a dramatic vaulted beamed ceiling, an impressive walk-in closet with center island, and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, jetted tub, and separate shower. A handsome private office with custom built-ins and an adjoining exercise room with vaulted beamed ceiling and sliding doors to a secluded patio complete this exceptional retreat. A spacious laundry room, mudroom, and powder room add everyday convenience. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms each enjoy their own private ensuite bath, while a second-floor laundry closet adds thoughtful functionality. The finished lower-level features 9-foot ceilings, an expansive recreation room, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a full bath, abundant storage, and a third laundry area. Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the well-equipped barn featuring five stalls, a wash rack, tack room, hay loft, paddocks, and pastures. Outside, every season offers something to enjoy-from relaxing poolside on warm summer days and gathering around the fire pit on crisp autumn evenings to admiring colorful spring blooms and peaceful winter landscapes. Completing this remarkable estate are a circular paver driveway and a heated three-car garage with epoxy flooring. Lovingly maintained and impeccably cared for, this private country paradise offers the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience, just minutes from downtown Barrington, Metra, shopping, dining, and award-winning Barrington District 220 schools. Come experience the beauty, serenity, and timeless appeal of this extraordinary property, you'll fall in love the moment you arrive.
