Arlington Heights | French Rustic

Looking over a golf-course with a generous lot, this house was designed for a large close-knit family. Originally from Europe, the owners wanted to create the feel of an old-country estate. Details like the heavy timber porch and pergola, the tumbled stone, stucco and warm earthy tones give the impression of a small chateau. Inside, the plan revolves around the great room with a soaring beamed ceiling and two-way fireplace shared with the adjacent study. A large wine cellar serves the dining room, and an elevator provides easy access to the entire house.
