1930 Camphill Circle

Inverness, IL 60067

Modern, elegant estate is mixed with abounding old world craftsmanship and located in popular Inverness. This period home was inspired by the historic 1717 John Custis Tenement in Williamsburg, Virginia. The home boasts custom period moldings, wood paneling, wide-plank heartwood flooring, and built-in closets. Throughout the entrance and hallways, Lincrusta Edwardian-style wainscotting sets a classic tone. The bathrooms feature House of Hackney wallpaper inspired by Diana Vreeland's iconic "Garden in Hell" room on Park Ave. Six fireplaces grace the home-five in the main house and one in the coach house-each with salvaged period mantels and custom stone surrounds. The office/three season room showcases hand-cut English white oak paneling and floor-to-ceiling stained glass windows facing the courtyard. The courtyard itself is paved with 19th-century brick pavers, hosting a striking Indian carved lotus marble fountain. In the coach house, a beamed ceiling complements wood paneling, heartwood flooring, and a staircase, with custom built-ins adding extra storage. The second-level full bathroom features floor-to-ceiling oak paneling, marble flooring, a shower surround, and a marble vanity. The backyard, nestled atop a hill amid mature trees and a flowing creek, spans three levels. The lower level features a well-manicured English garden with a furnished gazebo, flagstone walkway, fish pond, arbor with mature clematis vines, cast iron urns on limestone bases, and an antique iron Putti garden sculpture. Accessible from the driveway and adjacent to the coach house, the second tier offers a large patio and an antique sugar pot ideal for bonfires. The ground-level garden includes a paved courtyard with a marble fountain, antique iron seating, and planters, along with a side vegetable garden, faux wishing well, and stone patio surrounded by English country gardens. The homeowners have made modern upgrades to the home without affecting the character and quality of the style with which is was built. A gem with unique character and charm. The coach house adds an additional 735 finished square feet.
