A seven-bedroom, 9,060-square-foot mansion in Barrington Hills that has 11 garage spaces was relisted last month for $2.65 million.
While Barrington-area mega-mansions for sale are nothing new, this mansion’s garage parking stands out. The home has a four-car garage plus a recently constructed guesthouse that includes another seven-car garage.
Built in 2007, the gated, European villa-style mansion sits on a 5.3-acre parcel. The mansion has a new stone exterior with copper gas lamps, five fireplaces, 9 1/2 baths, a first-floor master suite with his and hers closets and heated floors in the master bath, a kitchen with an 11-foot island and a newly finished, more than 3,500-square-foot lower level with an exercise room, a billiard room, a poker room, a theater, a 2,500-bottle-plus wine cellar and a walk-in humidor. In addition to having a seven-car garage, the newly built guest house has two bedrooms and a family room with a vaulted ceiling. Outside on the property are a grill, a fireplace, a fire pit, a pizza oven and a playground area.
The mansion first was listed for about $3.2 million in 2017. It was reduced to $3 million later that year, $2.95 million in 2018 and then to $2.8 million and $2.7 million earlier this year before it was taken off the market.
The current owners are a land trust whose beneficiary could not be determined. The trust paid $1.69 million for the estate in 2013.
“From the moment you walk in this home, you realize the level of finishes are truly amazing,” listing agent Michael LaFido told Elite Street. “The lower level has the amenities of a $10 million mansion. The guest house and seven-car garage (are the kinds of things) you don’t see here in the Midwest.”
