Property Description

Barrington Hills, with each home on 5 acres, is the oasis in metropolitan Chicago. This unique brick ranch home, inspired by America's greatest architect, FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT, will be the SANCTUARY that gives you security, peace, & joy in these times of intense change & uncertainty. If you're looking for one of the best pieces of land in BH & a timeless residential masterpiece filled with light from floor-to-ceiling (F2C) walls of windows in each room, & not a typical McMansion, this is for you. No lie... FREE BONUSES: Custom-made replicas of Wright's iron entry gates and art glass windows... The owner is a Wright aficionado who has walked inside more than 100 homes designed by Wright himself. He knows Wright's philosophy & features, & the reasons his personal guests have been captivated by this magical home during the 38 years he's owned it. He is retiring & moving out-of-state to be with family, & thus you have a once-in-a lifetime opportunity to own this breathtaking home & land... If you liked the 25 PHOTOS, you'll know why you'll always feel enchanted as the new owner, & DETAILS BELOW will excite you ...WRIGHT'S BASICS. Start with 5 acres of rolling, elevated land (30 ft above Bow Lane & 10 ft above Meadow Hill Road)...See along the perimeter of your land about 125 evergreens 75-ft tall...Site your home properly to bring in light throughout the day, not parallel to Meadow Hill Road but diagonal to it...Use 5-foot eaves that block high summer light from your windows but allow low winter light into your home...Vary ceiling heights...Build walls of F2C windows so you can look 100s or 1,000s of feet in many directions to see deer, birds, flowers & trees...Enter with pride your long private driveway protected by the custom-made iron gates that replicate Wright's... WALK 2 STEPS INSIDE & LOOK STRAIGHT to your 32-ft foyer & living room with cathedral ceiling, and 100s of feet into your yard. The living room boasts an 8-ft wide gorgeous green marble fireplace... AT THE ENTRY LOOK LEFT at the open floor plan & see part of your family & dining areas. Walk into the areas & note the 8 x 8 ft brick fireplace wall. You'll be enthralled in the family & dining areas by the patterns & colors of the custom-made art glass windows that replicate Wright's... The large kitchen features generous counter space & cabinets, a walk-in pantry, & views of 100s of feet of land & trees... The spacious "laundry room" with a 10-ft wall of windows doubles as an office... AT THE ENTRY TURN RIGHT & see the long art gallery hall to the wing of 3 bedrooms & 2 full baths... The secluded primary bedroom at the end of the home & its ensuite spa bathroom have vaulted ceilings. There's a sunken whirlpool for two & an oversize separate shower... The large primary bedroom fits a king bed, nightstands, dresser, armoire, & desk with sitting area for remote workers... Between the 2 other bedrooms is a bathroom with an 8-ft double vanity & custom mirror above entire vanity to ceiling... GROUND LEVEL 2,440 sq ft. Hardwood floors... LOWER LEVEL 1,400 sq ft. Against the walls are 42 linear ft of FTC wooden cabinets... 2.5-car attached garage fits 2 cars + a 7-ft width for other items. 10 minutes to FRGrove train station with ample parking... THE OWNER PLANNED to replace older but working items: roof... furnace/AC... water heaters... kitchen appliances... washer/dryer but learned that warranties would transfer to his buyer for shorter periods. He knew the buyer would want full warranties & would prefer to choose materials, colors, & features. Great news: in ONLY 2 DAYS workers can remove old items & install new... SOLUTION: owner will provide prospects the written contractor estimates totaling $85,000 & reduce by $85,000 his planned $1,195,000 sales price. So the sales price is $1,110,000 & you can customize your new home as you wish & have full warranties. A showing requires lender's pre-approval letter. Please call 24 hours prior to your desired time.
