Property Description
Set across nearly 13 awe-inspiring acres in the heart of prestigious Wayne, this iconic legacy estate is a breathtaking showcase of mid-century architecture, historic craftsmanship, equestrian lifestyle, and timeless grandeur unlike anything else on the market. Privately tucked away among rolling grounds, mature trees, scenic pastures, and exceptional equestrian amenities, 33W451 Surrey Road captures the timeless charm and character of a remarkable mid-century estate while offering an unparalleled setting rarely found today. Built as a showcase of 1950s architecture and craftsmanship, this sprawling custom ranch is an extraordinary time capsule filled with authentic details, rich history, and architectural significance throughout. Offering approximately 3,500 square feet, the home features four bedrooms, three full baths, two half baths, two private primary suites, and separate maid's quarters, all thoughtfully designed with expansive entertaining spaces and breathtaking views of the surrounding grounds. Modern functionality has been thoughtfully integrated throughout the home with zoned heating and air conditioning, a backup generator, and a private wine cellar adding comfort, convenience, and peace of mind. Incredible views surround the home from virtually every room, creating a seamless connection to the estate's stunning natural setting. The heart of the home showcases custom craftsmanship rarely seen today, including a stunning kitchen featuring a built-in custom pizza oven, an additional built-in oven, and a beautiful fireplace creating warmth and character throughout the space. The formal dining room is highlighted by a magnificent Baccarat chandelier, negotiable with the sale, adding to the estate's timeless elegance and grandeur. Outside, the estate continues to impress with extraordinary details and entertaining spaces designed for both beauty and functionality. A picturesque English garden creates a storybook setting, while the spectacular bluestone patio imported directly from Italy offers an unforgettable outdoor entertaining experience. Historic railings salvaged from the famed McCormick Mansion in Chicago surround the patio, and historic street lamps dating back to 1924 are thoughtfully positioned throughout the property, further enhancing the estate's remarkable character and historical significance. Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the property's exceptional barn facilities and expansive fenced pasture areas. The north pasture spans just over 4.5 acres, the south pasture encompasses approximately 2 acres, and the rear pasture offers an additional acre, creating an ideal layout for horses, recreation, or future possibilities. The main barn includes five stalls, a tack room, workshop, tractor shed, hay storage area, mow and oat bins, and water access. A separate hay barn offers two run-in areas and adjacent pastures, along with an oat bin, expansive hay storage, and additional water access, creating a truly functional and picturesque horse property. Walls of windows frame breathtaking views in every direction, while the sprawling acreage provides an unmatched sense of privacy and tranquility. Whether preserved as the remarkable estate it is today, thoughtfully restored, or reimagined into an extraordinary modern compound, this property offers tremendous potential and possibilities that are truly endless. Properties of this scale, historical significance, architectural character, and land rarely become available in Wayne. A truly iconic estate offering legacy, history, craftsmanship, lifestyle, and extraordinary opportunity unlike anything else on the market.
