Old Barrington introduces a prominent estate dating back to 1929, where maintaining the renowned architecture has been at the forefront of 5 previous generations from the bookkeeper of a well-known mob boss to the previous owners who maintained the home in its original state. The finest appointments continue to be preserved and, in many ways, improved! Proudly stated on just short of 5 acres with a sprawling circle drive. Upon arrival guests are greeted with stately columns reaching 3-stories tall while complimented by a bluestone porch. The charming entry opens to an expansive staircase while leading the way to an exquisite living room. The living room is finished with a brick fireplace accented by windows on each side and French door access to the porch. The living room brilliantly overshadows a beautiful music room tucked in the corner with inspiring views of the Yard. Just outside the music room are beautiful French doors leading to a state-of-the-art vaulted kitchen. The kitchen showcases exposed beams, 42" custom inset cabinets with soft close, glass facade and dove tail features, soap stone counters, Wolf range, Wolf double oven, coffee bar, beverage fridge, expansive breakfast bar with built-in extensions creating additional workspace, and pendant lighting.
