Recent refinements to select bathrooms and the lower level complement the home’s timeless architecture and understated elegance.
There is a particular kind of home that reveals itself slowly…where the quality is felt before it is seen, and where the weight of fine craftsmanship speaks to something enduringly substantial. Set on 0.69 acres, among the most substantial lots Country Club Hills has to offer, and thoughtfully crafted by the owner of BCN Homes as his own personal family residence, this extraordinary English Manor style estate with resort-like rear grounds represents the rarest of opportunities and is now offered to the market for the first time.
The estate-like setting is immediately compelling. Mature landscaping and towering trees create a remarkable sense of privacy and space rarely available in such a close-in location. The home itself commands attention with its timeless architecture, elegant symmetry, and a presence that feels substantial without excess.
The outdoor living experience is truly exceptional. Sliding glass doors across the rear of the home open to expansive terraces surrounding the 40x20 swimming pool and cabana. Designed for year-round entertaining, the cabana includes an outdoor kitchen with built-in grill, sink, icemaker and beverage refrigerator, while a dramatic stone fireplace creates an unforgettable centerpiece for gatherings. A private sport court adds yet another rare amenity to this remarkable property.
Inside, 11-foot ceilings and graciously scaled rooms lend an unhurried grandeur throughout, providing an extraordinary sense of openness and natural light across all levels. Oversized windows frame views of the surrounding grounds at every turn, while substantial millwork, wide-plank flooring, and refined architectural detailing lend warmth and sophistication to the home's expansive scale. Spanning nearly 9,850 finished square feet across four thoughtfully realized levels, the residence offers seven bedrooms and nine baths, each space scaled for the way refined families truly live. This is not volume for its own sake. It is space with intention.
A gracious foyer anchors the main level, opening to a formal living room with a masonry fireplace, a beautifully proportioned dining room, and a private library that offers the quiet gravitas every principal residence deserves. The heart of the home is the expansive kitchen, appointed with an elegant butler's pantry, a walk-in pantry, and a sun-lit breakfast alcove, opening directly to the rear grounds. The adjacent family room, with its handsome stone fireplace, flows effortlessly to the extraordinary outdoor environment beyond. A rear foyer provides a generous mud room, pool bath, service entry, three-car garage, and rear stairs to both the lower and upper levels.
The second level, with nine-foot ceilings, is anchored by a serene primary suite with a luxury marble bath. A vaulted upper family room provides an intimate gathering space away from the main floor, while three additional bedrooms, each of generous proportion, are served by well-appointed baths. A dedicated laundry room of exceptional size ensures that every practical consideration has been met with the same care as the architectural ones.
The third level offers a private retreat of its own: a bedroom, a generous bonus room, a full bath, and ample storage, perfectly suited as a guest suite, an au pair accommodation, or a secluded creative space. The lower level offers generous spaces for entertaining and relaxation, including a large game room, a recreation room anchored by a masonry fireplace, and a newly added bar with a full-size wine refrigerator. A dedicated exercise room and an additional bedroom with an en-suite bath complete this thoughtfully appointed level.
Long regarded as one of the most prestigious residential enclaves in the greater Washington area. Opportunities of this caliber rarely present themselves — and almost never with this level of scale and permanence.
