A rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind, luxury residence in downtown Barrington! Available for only the second time, the exceptional Barrington House is a historic hometown treasure located on a double lot in the heart of the Village. The original house was built in 1894, and its architecture came to life when it was fully refurbished and expanded in 2005. Chicago architect John Eifler's design harmonizes the exterior of Chicago common brick, cut limestone, cedar trim, taper sawn shingles, half-round copper gutters and Marvin Ultimate windows. The builder's utilization of "green" building systems makes this home remarkably efficient. Upon completion, it was run as the Barrington Bed & Breakfast for 15 years. The house has since been reimagined, thoughtfully refreshed and remodeled by its current owners over the past 5 years into an entertainer's dream that is perfectly suited for a private family residence. The main level features a welcoming foyer, two home offices, kitchen open to family room, butler's pantry & dining room with bar area for your entertaining ease. Enjoy cooking in the gourmet chef's kitchen with custom white inset cabinetry, Carrara marble countertops, farmhouse sink, dual dishwashers, 48" Wolf range, Subzero PRO 48 refrigerator, Wolf microwave drawer and butler's pantry with Subzero beverage refrigerator. The second level accessed via front and rear staircases, has a spacious primary suite sanctuary that includes two en-suite bathrooms, massive walk-in dressing closet, & sitting area with peaceful views of the private courtyard below. Four additional en-suite bedrooms, (2 with gas fireplaces) grace the second floor. The finished third level offers an idyllic bonus room or guest quarters complete w/full bath. The lower level includes a spacious laundry/utility room with dual front-load washers & dryers, dog washing station and laundry chute, a fitness room, storage area, separate media/recreational room, full bath, and walks out to the attached 3-car heated garage. Interior features include: 6300+ SF of finished living space, volume ceilings, 3-stop elevator, Smart Home (WiFi enabled), whole house Sonos music system, exceptional millwork & fixtures throughout, 6-zone thermostats, 4 gas fireplaces, central vacuum system, and a whole-house backup Generac generator. Exterior features include a private, fully fenced brick courtyard, covered front & side porches, professional landscaping with new SYLlawn pet-friendly synthetic turf, & brick paver driveway/sport/play court that will accommodate 5+ additional vehicles. All in the heart of downtown Barrington just steps away from shops, restaurants, Starbucks, Metra train, and award-winning D220 schools! Don't miss this unique opportunity to own an architectural gem, make this magic HOME. Owner is an IL Licensed Real Estate Broker.
