The main-level primary suite offers a private sanctuary, featuring vaulted ceilings, sweeping lake views, a spa-inspired bath with steam shower and whirlpool, and generous dual dressing areas. The second floor en-suite bedrooms provide comfort and privacy for family and guests, while a loft and lounge overlook the dramatic family room below. Outside, an expansive deck opens to the sweeping lawn and the remarkable lakefront beyond. With approximately 450 feet of shoreline on private Hawley Lake, the opportunities for boating, swimming, fishing, paddleboarding, and simply enjoying the tranquility of the water are exceptional. There is no substitute for this property. The extraordinary shoreline, exclusive private-lake setting, architectural scale, and unparalleled sense of privacy make this a truly irreplaceable offering in Barrington Hills.
