Welcome to this fully updated brick ranch located in the heart of Palatine! The open concept layout is an entertainer's dream, and with over 2500 square feet of living space, the home is much more spacious than it appears! The main level, featuring hardwood flooring throughout, boasts a spacious dining room that seamlessly connects with a stunning kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with new stainless steel appliances, including a wine fridge, granite countertops, and an island with seating for three, as well as a breakfast bar. The kitchen opens to the cozy family room, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, which leads to the backyard, creating a perfect flow for indoor-outdoor living. The primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and an en-suite bath that was recently remodeled with a walk-in shower. There are 2 more generous sized bedrooms and an updated shared bath that complete the main level. The recently updated full finished basement offers extra living space, complete with built-in custom cabinetry. It also features two additional bedrooms with spacious closets, a third fully updated bathroom, and a laundry room to complete the space. The fenced backyard is your private outdoor oasis where you will find a trex deck overlooking a brick paver patio with built in firepit. The 2 car garage and backyard shed offer tons of storage. This meticulously maintained home includes recent upgrades such as a new roof (2019), sump pump with battery backup (2020), driveway (2020), water heater (2022), and air conditioning (2017). Conveniently located near Northwest Highway, shopping, and restaurants, this property offers both convenience and comfort!
