About this home
Where location meets intention and luxury answers both, this exceptional Steeplechase residence delivers a rare harmony just moments from the heart of Barrington. Perfectly positioned on a private .40-acre setting, this 4,200 square-foot home embodies refined living with a presence that is both commanding and inviting. A striking blend of brick and Hardie board introduces a home designed to impress at every turn. Guests are welcomed into a grand two-story foyer where light dances across newly refinished hardwood floors, unveiling an open-concept design that unfolds with effortless elegance. Just off the entry, a sophisticated private office framed by French doors and a sweeping window offering a quiet retreat for work or inspiration. Opposite, a stunning living room showcases an oversized picture window, seamlessly transitioning into a formal dining room adorned with classic chair rail detailing and tranquil views of the lush grounds, an ideal backdrop for elevated entertaining. At the heart of the home, the kitchen balances function with finesse, featuring 36" grey cabinetry, gleaming granite countertops, a striking black glass backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a built-in prep desk. The adjoining breakfast room, bathed in natural light, opens to the expansive deck and flows effortlessly into a grand family room. Here, a stately brick fireplace anchors the space, while sliding doors invite indoor-outdoor living at its finest. The main level continues to impress with rich hardwood flooring throughout, a newly updated powder room (2024), and an expanded laundry/mudroom thoughtfully designed to accommodate a custom locker system and bench if desired, where everyday living meets elevated convenience. Upstairs, a luxurious retreat awaits. Four generously sized bedrooms are complemented by two beautifully appointed full baths. The vaulted primary suite is a sanctuary of its own, flooded with natural light, enhanced by hardwood floors, and offering space for a private sitting area. Dual walk-in closets provide exceptional storage, while the spa-inspired primary bath (2026) indulges with an oversized tub, dual vanities, and a separate shower and water closet. The additional bedrooms share a stunning, fully renovated hall bath featuring double vanities and a refined tub/shower combination designed with both style and practicality in mind. The fully finished lower level extends the home's versatility and entertainment appeal, offering a media lounge, recreation area, bar, game room, and flexible space ideal for a gym or additional storage tailored to fit any lifestyle. Outdoors, the experience continues. A remarkable backyard oasis showcases an oversized deck, outdoor bar, hot tub, and multiple sitting areas crafted for unforgettable gatherings or serene evenings under the stars. Beyond its beauty, this home is enhanced by a thoughtful list of recent improvements: * New HVAC system (2025) & water heater (2025) * New primary bath (2026) & updated shared bath * Newly expanded mudroom & new dryer * New insulation & whole-house attic fan * Refinished hardwood floors & new living room hardwoods * New light fixtures & iron rod balusters * New central humidifier * Recently painted basement * New driveway (approx. 5 years) * Hardie board exterior (2018) * Windows replaced (2016) * Roof approximately 13 years old All of this, just blocks from downtown Barrington, where sidewalks lead to charming restaurants, boutique shopping, vibrant entertainment, and convenient access to the Metra, bringing the city within reach while preserving the tranquility of home. This is more than a residence; it's a statement of arrival....
