This is the home you've been dreaming of. A truly exceptional French Country-inspired custom brick retreat, masterfully crafted and gracefully set on 1.25 acres of lush, resort-style grounds. From the exquisite pool, spa, and elegant gazebo to the expansive stone patios and professionally landscaped gardens, every inch of this property evokes the feeling of a private luxury getaway. Beautifully curated custom details unfold throughout the home-rich hardwood flooring, architectural transom windows, soaring ten-foot and vaulted ceilings, and thoughtfully designed spaces that accommodate both grand entertaining and intimate everyday living. Outdoors, a putting green, Bocce court, sprawling lawn, and vibrant landscaping create a recreational paradise with room for croquet, badminton, or simply soaking in the serenity. A winding paver pathway leads to the welcoming front entry and into a dramatic two-story foyer anchored by custom hardwood floors. Just off the foyer, the formal living room offers an inviting place to gather, while the expansive dining room-complete with butler's pantry-sets the stage for memorable dinner parties. At the heart of the home lies the chef's dream kitchen, completely redesigned in 2021 with creative cooking and entertaining in mind. This culinary masterpiece features beautiful cabinetry, glistening quartz countertops, a Viking commercial gas cooktop with vented hood, double ovens, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a generous center island. A sunlit breakfast area opens to the rear deck, offering a seamless connection to views of the sparkling pool and grounds. Open to the kitchen is the bright, welcoming great room, showcasing a stunning fireplace and custom built-ins. An adjacent sunroom provides the perfect spot for morning coffee, tea, or unwinding in natural light. The main level also includes a private ensuite bedroom with its own front porch-ideal for guests or multigenerational living-and a spacious, well-appointed laundry room with abundant storage. Upstairs, the front sweeping staircase reveals two distinct wings. The luxurious primary suite features a serene sitting room and a truly indulgent spa-inspired bathroom with heated floors, a walk-in hydrotherapy shower, soaking tub, and dual vanities. Another ensuite bedroom, a pair of bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath, and a sizable game room-perfect as a playroom, recreation space, or guest suite-provide exceptional flexibility. There's also a back staircase to the main floor. Tucked privately on the third floor is a quiet, light-filled home office, ideal for remote work. The walkout lower level is another standout, offering radiant heated floors and an impressive collection of lifestyle amenities: a media room with wet bar, family room, gym, half bath, poker room with cigar venting, hobby room, massive workshop, and abundant storage. Lower level family room opens to a paver patio and the extensive grounds, making indoor-outdoor living effortless. Car enthusiasts will appreciate the oversized three-car garage, complete with an electric charging station, radiant heated floors, epoxy flooring, creative above the cars storage, built-in cabinetry, and direct staircase access to the lower level. Meticulously maintained and extensively updated-including a new roof-this home offers peace of mind along with unparalleled comfort. Ideally located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the prestigious Biltmore neighborhood, it provides convenient access to the country club, award-winning Barrington schools, upscale dining, shopping, and the Metra. This extraordinary home is not just a residence-it's a prize, and an opportunity rarely found.
