Motorola Solutions CEO Greg Brown listed his Barrington Hills mansion on Wednesday for $5.9 million.

The enormous 28,000-square-foot home at 93 Hawley Woods Road sits on more than 10 acres and has seven bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. The asking price comes out to $211 per square foot.

Penny Silich, with the Coveny Prestige Team at Re/Max Suburban, is representing Brown on the listing.

Brown and his wife, Anna, purchased the acreage in 2007 for $1.5 million, according to property records. The listing says the home was built in 2009.

The French Provincial-style stone manor has expansive amenities across three levels, according to the listing. The primary bedroom includes a two-story walk-in closet with a dedicated staircase and a spa-like bathroom. The 9,200-square-foot lower level includes a theater room, bar area and an indoor half basketball court, the listing says.

Silich, who declined to identify the sellers, said the home is notable for its large common areas and entertaining spaces. The lower level amenities can be used for casual entertainment while the larger common areas have been used for large-scale events and fundraisers, she said.

Modernist 11,600-square-foot estate is a departure from traditional manors in high-end northwest suburb (Google Maps, Getty)

By Caleb McCullough | The Real Deal

A newly constructed 11,600-square-foot home in Barrington Hills hit the market on Friday asking $6 million, joining a thin roster of high-end listings in the northwest Chicago suburb.

The house at 101 South Remington Drive has five bedrooms and six bathrooms and sits on a 5.3-acre lot. The 11,600-square foot home will be completed this year, according to the listing.

The mansion appears to be for sale by the builder, based on property records. Records indicate Arkadiusz Bakiej of Palos Hills purchased the lot for $360,000 in 2018.

Online information about Bakiej is sparse, but results suggest he is a homebuilder and involved in home remodeling. He’s the manager of P.A.K.I., LLC, according to Illinois business records. The listing agent on the home is listed as Iwona Bakiej, who is also involved in P.A.K.I., according to a LinkedIn page under that name.

Iwona Bakiej did not respond to a request for comment.

The home’s modern design is inspired by California luxury homes, according to the listing. It consists of staggered cubic structures with sharp geometric lines, flat roofs and full floor-to-ceiling windows, marking a departure from the more traditional English manors that dominate the Barrington area’s luxury properties.

The home has four fireplaces, a sauna, a wet bar, a walk-out basement and a five-car attached garage, according to the listing. The primary suite on the second floor includes a private fitness area and a walk-in closet, as well as a double-level patio that overlooks the grounds.
