This breathtaking Gothic Revival farmhouse, built in 1875, stands as a piece of history in Palatine, one of the earliest homes in the area. Characterized by the distinctive features of Gothic Revival architecture, such as pointed arches, steeply pitched roofs, exposed timber framing, and detailed woodwork, the home has been beautifully preserved while undergoing modern renovations to offer a perfect blend of historical charm and contemporary luxury. The home features three spacious bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms, designed to provide comfort for families of all sizes. The interior boasts elegant maple & oak hardwood floors throughout, seamlessly tying the living spaces together. The kitchen is a true masterpiece, complete with granite countertops, a built-in China cabinet, and a walk-in pantry with rollout shelving, ideal for both casual cooking and gourmet meal preparation. Recently purchased just 6 weeks ago, this sleek, energy-efficient Whirlpool refrigerator offers modern functionality with plenty of storage space and the latest features to keep your food fresh and organized. It's the perfect addition to the kitchen, offering reliability and style. A built-in desk offers a convenient space for remote work or household management, while a large bay window brings in abundant natural light, creating an airy and open feel. At the top of the grand staircase, a large vestibule welcomes you into the primary bedroom, which provides a private retreat with its serene ambiance and close access to a full bathroom. The second bedroom is cleverly designed with a play loft above it, perfect for a child's hideaway or additional storage. The third bedroom features vaulted ceilings, adding a sense of openness and architectural drama to the space. Two full bathrooms on the upper level and a convenient half-bath on the main floor ensure comfort and practicality. This home offers the added convenience of an additional laundry room located upstairs, complete with a high-efficiency washer / dryer combo. Perfectly situated for easy access to bedrooms, this feature simplifies laundry days by saving you trips up and down the stairs. Climate Control - This home is equipped with two efficient heating and air conditioning units for maximum comfort and control. The main unit(#1) offers central air and heat, ensuring the entire home stays comfortable year-round. Additionally, there's a separate combo heater/AC unit (#2) located upstairs, providing tailored temperature control for the upper level, perfect for added comfort and energy savings. The home also offers an exquisitely designed sunroom, allowing you to enjoy the outdoors year-round. This screened porch is the perfect place to relax, entertain, or enjoy meals while taking in the fresh air and views of the expansive, beautifully landscaped yard. Patio & Front Walkway Upgrades - Step outside to a beautifully upgraded backyard, featuring a decorative concrete patio that enhances the outdoor space with its stylish design--ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Additionally the newly poured concrete front walkway not only boosts curb appeal but ensures a smooth and durable entry to the home. Additionally, the home sits on a large corner lot with a fully fenced backyard, offering ample privacy and space for outdoor activities. Dual driveways-one in the front and another in the back-provide easy access, along with an oversized garage for storage or a workshop. The basement, accessible from both the inside and outside, provides even more additional living space with storage. With its combination of historic Gothic Revival architecture and modern amenities like the spacious sunroom, three bedrooms, and 2 1/2 bathrooms, this home offers the perfect balance of charm and functionality.
