This behemoth of a home is located on S. Braymore Drive in Barrington. It is located at the end of a long private driveway. The home looks to have a 9+ car garage. It also a swimming pool that is being completed and a domed circular glass conservatory. You can tell how massive this home is when you take a look at the 7,000+ square foot mansions next to it. This home was brought to my attention by a reader of Homes of the Rich. If anyone has any information on this home (like it’s square footage) please send me an email or leave a comment below.
