THE SCOTTISH MANOR was named Chicago Magazine and Chicago Home + Garden's 2008 Showhouse, and it's no wonder why. A tribute to the Scottish heritage of Bannockburn, this extraordinary residence is located in Tarns of the Moor, an exciting new community of 10 estate sites surrounded by beautiful woods and brilliant ponds. Sprinkled with bridges and walking paths, this amazing property connects to the village park with miles of hiking and biking trails, children's playground and more.

This extraordinary residence has two distinct personalities—one elegant and refined and the other Old World. Capturing the mood of Scotland's idyllic countryside, the Scottish Manor is filled with character and remarkable detailing both inside and out. It has seven fireplaces and two master suites within its 7,071 square feet (with and additional 1,600 square feet available in the lower level) of ultimate living space. An incredibly versatile home, it is perfect for entertaining ten or 200.

The stone and stucco exterior is highlighted by sweeping roof lines, arch-top windows, wrought iron balcony, and zinc gutters and flashing. Unique architectural elements, exuding Old World charm and craftsmanship, can be seen everywhere. Four expansive chimneys are topped by stone pots while the custom screen porch boasts hand-hewn detailing. There's also a three-car garage. Along with numerous green features, it's a "healthy house" with the latest air purification systems.
