About This Home

As of August 2024

Welcome to Serendipity, an enchanted sprawling ranch nestled on just over 5 acres in Barrington Hills! You will find the perfect balance of charming, down-to-earth elements as well as delicate and elegant accents throughout this 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom home. Entering the property through your own private gate, you will be greeted by a circular driveway that extends the length of the home and also reaches the detached collector's garage. A whimsical cobblestone courtyard will lead you to the antique wooden front door, truly elevating the provincial style. Once in this expansive home, you are immediately surrounded by natural light and the warmth from the outdoors, thanks to large windows on both sides of the living room. The living room offers the best of both worlds: it is large enough to entertain a group of friends yet also includes an inviting fireplace that is perfect for cozying up with a good book. From there, you are led into the formal dining room, which also connects to the family room and kitchen. The kitchen has been transformed to include state-of-the-art appliances, including Miele and SubZero, and tastefully updated with leathered granite countertops. There is an island, as well as a separate peninsula table that includes built-in shelving, drawers, and beverage refrigerators. This provides ample space for meal preparation while allowing people to gather in the kitchen. Flowing from the kitchen through the very comfortable and spacious family room, you will exit the French doors directly into the screened-in porch, large enough to house both a dining area and a sitting area. Exiting the screened-in porch, you will be in awe of the gorgeous outdoor setting that is the backyard. The recent addition of the stone patio, pool with a spa, and splash pad creates the ultimate backyard oasis that you will never want to leave. The most picturesque view is perhaps when you are in the pool and able to look out over the serene pond with a fountain. Not only does the pond bring a sense of calm to the property, but it also includes a sand beach and the perfect opportunity to fish on your own property. Topping off all the amazing amenities this home has to offer, there is a brand-new eight-car garage with exposed timber frames, heating, and air conditioning. Truly, everything has been thought of in this home, from the wine cellar in the basement to the smart system that controls all the lighting, sound system, to the whole-house scent diffuser. Every detail has been curated to create an environment of unparalleled splendor with unmatched amenities. Experience the pinnacle of living at Serendipity, where elegance meets tranquility!
