Both exquisite and timeless, this stunning custom one-acre estate commands one of Braymore's most coveted waterfront settings. Thoughtfully designed for both intimate everyday living and grand-scale entertaining, the residence delivers a rare level of architectural presence, scale, and refinement. A circular paver drive introduces the all-brick facade-stately yet warmly inviting-framed by impeccably curated landscaping and tranquil water views. Outdoor living is exceptional and intentionally oriented to the professionally landscaped grounds with pond views, a tiered stone patio, expansive deck, and a serene three-season porch that together create a seamless connection to the surrounding natural beauty. Inside, more than 10,000 square feet of finely appointed living space unfolds across three elevator-served levels, showcasing custom millwork, rich hardwood flooring, and sophisticated finishes throughout. A grand two-story foyer with sweeping staircase sets an elegant tone, opening to beautifully proportioned formal living and dining rooms. The dramatic two-story great room features a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, custom wet bar, built-in bookcases, and captivating water views, flowing effortlessly into a culinary-centered kitchen designed for both function and style. Recently updated, the kitchen offers custom cabinetry, granite and walnut countertops, a five-burner Dacor cooktop with custom commercial hood, double ovens, warming drawer, Sub-Zero refrigeration, a baker's center with marble countertops, and a walk-in pantry. A spacious breakfast area opens to the deck, while a sun-filled sitting room provides the perfect space for morning coffee or quiet reflection. There's a spacious laundry room and plenty of storage throughout. The main-level primary suite is a private sanctuary of nearly 1,000 square feet, featuring a tray ceiling, expansive dressing room, five-piece spa bath, coffee and juice bar, and a private deck overlooking the water. Upstairs, a second luxurious primary suite is joined by three additional bedrooms - each with it's own bathroom. The walk-out lower level elevates entertaining and everyday enjoyment to an exceptional standard. Highlights include a richly appointed library with cherry floors, custom built-ins, coffered ceiling, gas fireplace, private entrance, and patio access. A wine cellar and tasting room offers a refined, Napa-inspired experience with capacity for nearly 600 bottles. Additional spaces include a large family room with fireplace, wet bar with Sub-Zero beverage refrigerator and dishwasher, billiard room, gaming area, fitness room, sitting room, craft room, and full bath-each thoughtfully designed and opening to a stunning screened porch overlooking the patios, English knot garden, pond, and private grounds. Car enthusiasts will appreciate the oversized three-car side-load garage with epoxy flooring, custom storage cabinetry, and additional Sub-Zero refrigerator. Enjoy the best of both worlds: the tranquility of a quiet Inverness setting combined with the convenience of Barrington schools and city water and sewer. This remarkable estate is equally suited as a peaceful sanctuary and a sophisticated backdrop for unforgettable gatherings.
