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.
