Description
Extraordinary character is timeless, and this updated French Country estate, set on one of the premier streets within the gated community of Wynstone, epitomizes luxury living. This lifestyle community offers resort-style amenities including swimming, tennis, social events, and the acclaimed Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. This custom residence, located in the highly regarded Barrington 220 School District, spans nearly 10,000 finished square feet with 4 bedrooms and 4.2 bathrooms. Highlights include a dramatic two-story limestone foyer, sweeping grand staircase, and a Great Room with 20-foot ceilings, wet bar, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing sweeping views of the second-hole green. At dusk, enjoy breathtaking sunsets from the main patio, private side patio, or three-season screened porch. The main floor also offers a stately library with rich cherry millwork, elegant formal living and dining rooms, a butler's pantry, gourmet kitchen with premium stainless-steel appliances, a spacious laundry, and a private office. Second level, the luxurious primary suite features two walk-in closets, a sitting area overlooking the golf course, a beautifully remodeled spa-like bath (2019), and an adjacent private exercise room. Three additional bedrooms complete the second level. The lower level is designed for entertaining and relaxation, with a full commercial grade bar, expansive family and recreation areas for shuffleboard, pool, and ping pong, plus a bonus room, full bath, second office, and generous storage space.
