"Extraordinary character is timeless" presenting "Chaumont", designed & built in 1929 by renowned Jerome Cerny of Lake Forest, which embodies this statement. Situated atop a hill on nearly 10 private acres in the heart of Barrington Hills, this estate is reminiscent of Downton Abbey with scenic views plus buzzers throughout for household staff! Features include a long, formal drive flanked by graceful trees, a motor court encircling a stately fountain, plus a vintage Speakeasy front door! This home was built with "forever" in mind with features such as Terrazzo flooring, concrete stairs, solid doors and four second floor ensuite bedrooms plus a first Guest suite. The magnificent grounds have a darling caretaker's cottage with its own 3 car garage, a large 4-stall barn with spacious turnouts and storage for hay, a regulation dressage arena, plus pool and tennis court. Ideal for the sophisticated buyer willing to celebrate past achievements while hoping to inspire future ones.
