Description
Stunning authentic French Country estate in a prime Barrington Hills setting! This often admired 6 Bedroom / 4.2 Bathroom lannon stone home with a 1,900 square foot guest house commands a hilltop setting on almost seven acres. This very private, wooded wonderland with full perimeter decorative wrought iron fence is surrounded by exquisite gardens, lush landscaping, mature trees, a flagstone patio with pergola for dining alfresco, bubbling koi pond and stone steps leading to a fabulous pool. As you pass through the gated entry to the cobblestone courtyard you will be taken by the stone terraced gardens reminiscent of a private retreat in Provence. With its character and charm, paired with its numerous updates, this home is ready to move in! Circa 1935, the home underwent a thoughtful and high-quality renovation in 2008 pairing the original essence of this country home with some of the finest finishes and European-style craftsmanship rarely seen in our marketplace. Western views from the rear of the home and patios take in the tree tops and the setting sun over the Spring Creek Forest Preserve. The grounds include extensive hardscape and landscaping, two built-in fire pits, multiple garages for up to 6 cars, a workshop and a quaint Tea House in the woods completes this magical setting. A true treasure, this distinctive property embraces the beauty of Barrington Hills and can be your escape to the country and is just minutes from town, Metra train and award-winning District 220 schools. The adjacent 4,000 acres Spring Lake Nature Preserve is an added bonus with more than 45 miles of winding unpaved trails to explore and enjoy nature out your front door.
