Property Description

Frank Lloyd Wright is considered America's greatest architect. More than 1,000 books have been written about him, & he has millions of fans. With respect, please do not request a showing of THIS WRIGHT-INSPIRED TIMELESS MASTERPIECE if you do not qualify as described below... If you often look at prices for homes on 5 acres in exclusive Barrington Hills, you know that rarely are more than a handful listed for less than $1,450,000. In fact, hardly any homes would ever be listed under that price if you omit 5 categories of homes: 1)built more than 90 yrs ago; 2)described as a "tear down"; 3)built on or near commercial streets with posted 50 mph speed limits; 4)built near the noise & traffic congestion caused by Metra RR tracks; and 5)built next to or near a huge, gray ComEd substation... Definitely not included in points 1-5 is this much envied home on serene Meadow Hill Road. To the contrary, it has captivated its visitors from prominent architects who were Wright's apprentices (Erickson) & architects who have written books about him (Heinz) to Pulitzer Prize & Grammy winners (Royko, Mingus, & Larmore). This sanctuary sits on 5 rolling & elevated acres (30 ft above Bow Lane, 10 ft above Meadow Hill) with 125 evergreens 75-ft tall along the entire perimeter. You'll love that this magical home is filled with light from walls of floor-to-ceiling (F2C) windows in each room with panoramic views of 100s or 1,000s of feet! It blurs the distinction between inside & outside as Wright intended. Using Wright's principles, the home is sited diagonally to Meadow Hill to allow even more light and views. 5-ft eaves prevent summer sun from hitting the windows so the home remains cool. Google "biophilia" & you'll read that VIEWS OF NATURE REDUCE STRESS & lead to happiness, & that LIGHT BRINGS JOY. (Current owner has lived here 38 yrs. He has walked inside 100 homes Wright designed.)... DETAILS OF HOME: 32-ft foyer & LR with soaring cathedral ceiling, green marble fireplace. Open floor plan of your family & dining areas with brick fireplace wall. Large kitchen with generous counterspace & cabinets, walk-in pantry. Stand at kitchen sink & look 90 degrees to your right & you'll see outside 26 linear ft of windows. Spacious "laundry room" with 10-ft wide wall of windows doubles as an office. Secluded primary BR & ensuite spa bathroom at end of home have soaring ceilings. Whirlpool for 2 & separate oversize shower. Huge primary BR has space for desk & sitting area for remote workers. Between 2 other BRs is full bathroom with 8-ft double vanity... GROUND LEVEL: 2,440 sq ft. Closets have 84 linear ft to hang clothes. LOWER LEVEL: 1,400 sq ft & 42 linear ft of F2C wooden cabinets with 34 drawers + rods to hang clothes. Attached garage fits 2 cars + 21x7 ft for storage. Save time: 9 minutes to FRGrove Metra station...FREE BONUSES: Custom-made iron driveway gates & colorful art glass windows in dining area replicate Wright's... WE KNOW MANY PEOPLE WILL WANT TO SEE THIS HOME & learn about Wright. We can show it to only a limited # of qualified potential buyers. PLEASE DO NOT CALL TO REQUEST A SHOWING IF ANY OF THESE 5 ITEMS APPLY TO YOU: 1)You have not looked at all 25 photos & have not read the detailed descriptions to know if it fits your needs... 2)You do not want to live away from the craziness of today's world, where you can walk around your 5 acres & the ONLY SOUND YOU'LL HEAR IS SINGING BIRDS, & not trains, trucks, airplanes... 3)You expect the property to have pool & barn. (You can add each at your cost. Or, in 10 minutes are 3 commercial facilities to board horses.)... 4)You have not called 48 hrs before desired showing... 5)You have not already obtained & can't send us i)your Proof of Funds Statement from a major investment company or bank, or ii)a pre-approval letter from a major lender which will provide the funds (not from a mortgage banker)...Stock mkt highs & falling mortgage rates = big + for buyers.
