About This Home

This unique and hidden ALL brick gem has been meticulously maintained by the long time owner and is situated perfectly on almost a 1/2 acre lot in the heart of Palatine. The beautiful lush green landscape offers plenty of mature trees and perennials that add to the beauty of the landscape. The minute you step inside you will fall in love with the charm of this beauty! Original and gleaming hardwood flooring flows throughout most of the main level. The inviting living room exudes warmth and features a gorgeous stone front gas log fireplace and beamed ceiling which is the ideal space to relax with your family and friends. The separate dining room is light and bright and flows seamlessly into the kitchen area. The eat-in kitchen offers ample cabinet and countertop space, stainless steel appliances and a pantry. Whether you are preparing a gourmet meal or a quick snack, the kitchen is sure to inspire your culinary creativity. The room at the back of the home offers versatile space for a family room, office or can serve as an additional bedroom. The choice is yours. Convenient half bath on the main level with a statement piece vanity. Head upstairs and find two spacious bedrooms with ceiling fans and an abundance of closet and storage space. There are hardwood floors under the carpeting. The full bathroom has a corner vanity providing optimum usable space and a tub/shower combination. The full, unfinished basement allows for plenty of storage space and houses the laundry area with utility sink - washer & dryer stay with the home. The outdoor space is like resort style living.

The detached brick 3 car tandem garage offers so much space to park your vehicles, toys, etc... There is an entire second floor above the garage accessible by a staircase behind the garage for storage space or can be finished out to serve as a man-cave, recreation room or teenagers hangout spot!
