Property Description
Move right into this stunning 3-bedroom, 2-bath brick split-level home located in a fantastic Palatine neighborhood. The main level offers a formal living room and separate dining room, perfect for entertaining. The eat-in kitchen features stainless steel appliances, an island with a granite countertop that adds both storage and seating, and plenty of cabinet space for all your culinary needs. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms and an updated full bath with access from the primary bedroom. The home boasts hardwood floors throughout and has been freshly painted, creating a clean and welcoming atmosphere. The lower level includes a spacious family room with a wood-burning fireplace (w/gas starter) accented by a cultured stone face and wood mantle, along with a second full bath. An office or bonus room-accessible from the garage-has been updated with luxury vinyl plank flooring and features an electric fireplace/heater, making it ideal for a home office or cozy retreat. Step outside to a beautifully landscaped, fully-fenced yard that has been meticulously maintained by the long-time owner. Gorgeous perennials and a private patio make this space perfect for relaxing or entertaining. A 12' x 10' Tuff shed with a skylight and two loft areas provides excellent additional storage. Major updates offer peace of mind and energy efficiency, including a complete tear-off roof with oversized gutters and gutter guards (August 2023), all new dual-pane vinyl windows with argon gas and fold-down design for easy cleaning, and fully insulated siding and new exterior doors installed in 2014. Additional improvements include the EveryReady flood control system (2008), a modern drainage system with a main drain connecting to city storm drains (2020), a new sidewalk, walkway, and stoop, plus a newly sodded lawn and brand-new driveway (2023). The HVAC system, including the A/C and furnace with an Aprilaire humidifier, was replaced in 2020, and the 50-gallon water heater is from 2023. A sump pump with battery backup was also added in 2020. The garage includes new drop-down attic stairs for easy attic access. Extra features include a second refrigerator in the laundry room, additional storage in the crawl space, freezeless outdoor water spigots, Ring doorbells with front and rear cameras, and a Nest programmable thermostat. The location is unbeatable-just half a mile from the elementary school, one mile from Palatine High School, and only 1.5 miles to the Metra station and vibrant downtown Palatine!!
