So Refined, So Divine
If the devil is in the details, than this home needs an exorcist! It is not often that you have the pleasure of offering for sale a property where you need to consult your architectural dictionary about every component of the home. Now that my memory has been recently refreshed on various terms, let me tell you about 3805 Barrington Hill Drive. The brick Georgian with a hipped roof is situated on one of the most private lots in Barrington. The main structure has quoins and limestone keystones over all windows on the front elevation with 3 dormers at the roof. The attached ell, that houses the garage, has a clipped gable. You’ll love the look from the street.
Inside is just a feast for the eyes. The millwork is simply exquisite. In the formal areas, the casings around the doors and windows are fluted. The casements between rooms are all capped with pediments with dentil accent. Dentil is also the principal element in the multi member crown molding. When you transition to the informal areas, the casings become striated. Most transitions between formal and informal are accomplished by 15 lite french doors with transoms. The family room is huge, the kitchen is divine, and the patio off the rear is unbelievable.
A VISUAL TOUR is here. There will be an open house on Sunday, April 15th from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Oh, the yada yada on the property – 4 bedrooms with finished 3rd floor, 3.5 baths (wait until you see them), priced at $869,000.
