Welcome to Don Erickson's Marshall Residence. Originally thought to be the work of Erickson's business partner Dennis Stevens, the plans, located by the seller, revealed that Don Erickson was in fact the architect of this beautiful home. Set on a gorgeous 5-acre property, this organic modern ranch is set way back at the end of a winding driveway, offering exceptional privacy. Erickson smartly left plenty of land behind the home as well, so that there's ample space to enjoy the outdoor, or even to expand this fantastic home. Arranged in a linear fashion, the home features a spectacular great room, with three levels of ceiling height that rise above a massive modular block fireplace with a sunken hearth. At each ceiling level, clerestory windows offer natural light and views of the sky. As with the other rooms in the house, the living room features a tremendous amount of built-in furniture: A beautiful, built-in sofa wraps around much of the perimeter of the space, and is flanked by built-in end tables, with shelving above for books or artwork. Both bedrooms feature even more built-ins, with both rooms featuring built-in wardrobes, shelves and desks or workspaces, along with two-tiered ceilings with additional clerestory windows. The kitchen and laundry / utility room also feature tiered ceilings with clerestory windows, and the kitchen still features its original cabinetry. Both bathrooms feature original cabinetry, tile work and built-in lighting that was made by the craftsmen who built this 2,713 square foot home in 1960 / 1961. Throughout the home you'll enjoy what seems like acres of the original wood used to clad the walls, shelves and cabinetry, including the many cabinets lining the hallway to the bedrooms and the 2-car garage at the west end of the house. Floor to ceiling windows and sliders in most spaces invite in so much natural light, and blur the lines between the indoors and outdoors in true MCM fashion. This incredible home has been in the same family since 1973, and is now ready for the next stewards to enjoy the house and give it the love and appreciation it deserves. Just minutes from the Barrington Metra station and served by the highly rated Barrington school district, there is simply nothing else like this on the market in the Barrington area! The property is being sold "as-is" as part of an estate. Original plans are available to the lucky buyer who will call this home their own!
