Designed by acclaimed architect Robert Parker Coffin and built by one of Chicago's premier luxury builders, Orren Pickell, this extraordinary Barrington Hills estate sits on a breathtaking 5-acre wooded setting with tranquil pond views and has been brought to an exceptional new standard through extensive 2025 and 2026 renovations. A fully reimagined chef's kitchen, a new mudroom, and a new laundry room with double washers and dryers are among the headline updates - joined by new first-floor hardwood floors, all-new HVAC and water heaters, luxury plumbing and lighting fixtures throughout, and Benjamin Moore Cashmere paint in every room. And that's just the beginning. A dramatic two-story foyer with a graceful curved staircase makes a stunning first impression, opening to a flowing, light-filled layout rich with custom millwork, arched passageways, gleaming new hardwood floors, and five fireplaces that add warmth, character, and sophistication throughout. The showstopping chef's kitchen was completely reimagined from the studs out. Custom inset cabinetry, luminous quartzite countertops and slab backsplashes, an oversized island with breakfast bar, a full suite of Thermador appliances, and a walk-in pantry make the space as functional as it is beautiful. The sun-drenched breakfast room, wrapped in windows with a charming bay window seat, overlooks the serene landscape and opens directly to the bluestone patio and covered grilling station - perfect for effortless al fresco dining and indoor-outdoor living. Formal living and dining rooms are designed for elegant entertaining and are beautifully complemented by a butler's pantry with wet bar. The great room features soaring beamed cathedral ceilings and a striking brick fireplace, offering an inviting atmosphere ideal for both intimate evenings and larger gatherings. A richly detailed main-floor library with cherry built-ins provides a sophisticated work-from-home space or quiet retreat, conveniently located near a full bath. A newly renovated laundry room with double washers and dryers, a mudroom with service entrance, rear staircase, and powder room complete the thoughtfully organized main level. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite serves as a private sanctuary with a fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a whirlpool tub and glass-enclosed shower. Three secondary bedrooms - including one ensuite and two connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath - plus a nursery or second office offer exceptional flexibility. A private guest wing with its own living room, full kitchen, and ensuite bedroom is ideal for in-laws, long-term guests, or nanny quarters. The walkout lower level is an entertainer's dream and a future poolside retreat in the making. A large recreation area, second kitchen, and dining space flow naturally to the bluestone patio and sprawling rear grounds. A dedicated media or theater room, game or fitness room, wine cellar, and renovated ensuite bedroom round out a level that rivals many standalone homes - all perfectly positioned for a future pool that would complete the warm-weather living experience. Outside, multiple terraces, bluestone patios, and winding pathways invite you to enjoy tranquil pond views and the surrounding natural beauty in every season. A heated 4-car garage with epoxy flooring, plus a large carport, makes hosting easy at any scale. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, this remarkable Barrington Hills residence offers an exceptional blend of luxury, privacy, and convenience just minutes from town, train, riding trails, shopping, dining, and award-winning District 220 schools.
