This sanctuary in unique Barrington Hills sits on 5 rolling & elevated acres (30 ft above Bow Lane, 10 ft above Meadow Hill). You'll love that this magical home is filled with light in each room and offers panoramic views. It blurs the distinction between inside & outside as Wright intended. Using Wright's principles, the home is sited diagonally to Meadow Hill to allow even more light & views. 5-ft eaves prevent summer sun from hitting the windows so the home remains cool.
