Floor Plans: Custom Home Occupies a Lofty Perch
Project:
Custom Home
Builder:
Homes by Pinnacle, Lake Barrington, Ill.
The 12,000-square-foot custom home built by family-owned custom home builder Homes by Pinnacle may sit atop a subtle knoll on a five-acre infill tract in the Chicago area, but for its owners, the home itself occupies quite a lofty — and luxurious — perch.
A dramatic staircase graces the grand foyer. Exotic marbles, Italian granite and European hardwoods are used throughout. Many rooms feature custom beams and custom millwork, and the library boasts handcrafted cherry woodwork.

Grand foyer | Luxurious Appointments
The home features luxuriously-crafted public spaces just right for entertaining, plus thoughtful and comfortable private spaces just perfect for a quick getaway — even if only for five minutes.
The two-story home boasts 10-foot ceilings, 8-foot doors, a custom crafted cast stone fireplace, private studies with built-in bookcases and a circular wine cellar.

Dining room | Thoughtful Advances
To cope with harsh Chicago winters, the home features radiant heating for its owners and a four-bay heated garage for their vehicles.
The owners can work out in their private fitness center or luxuriate in a steam shower.

Kitchen | Quality Framing
Homes by Pinnacle partners with the WHI family of companies — Sterling Building Systems and Wausau Homes, both headquartered in Wausau, Wis. — to utilize a system of controlled construction that melds state-of-the art technology with conventional building practices to improve the overall quality of construction framing and provide for custom flexibility.

Theater seating | And a Touch of Whimsy
Quite naturally, the home features a custom home theater. But this theater includes its own marquee, movie time listings and pub. The only thing missing is a walk of fame.
