Welcome home to this spacious two-story gem ideally located near top-rated schools and all the amenities Palatine has to offer! Step into the bright living and dining rooms, both featuring classic hardwood flooring and a seamless flow enhanced by a charming pass-through window from the kitchen. The kitchen is a true standout with all stainless steel appliances, sleek recessed lighting, a convenient island with table space, and an impressive bow window that fills the space with natural light. A double wall oven adds both style and function, while the kitchen opens into a cozy family room anchored by a striking stone gas fireplace with a hearth. A dedicated office with built-in shelving offers the perfect work-from-home setup, and a half bathroom is thoughtfully located in the main floor hallway for guests. The laundry room rounds out the first floor. Upstairs, you'll find five well-sized bedrooms. The primary suite offers two dedicated closets, a ceiling fan, and a private en suite bathroom with a tiled standing shower. The second and third bedrooms feature hardwood flooring and ample closet space, while the fourth and fifth bedrooms are carpeted and include a walk-in closet for added storage. A full hallway bathroom with a tub and shower serves the second level. Enjoy outdoor living on the concrete patio with access from both rear entrances, or relax on the inviting covered front porch. All of this is within a half mile of Palatine High School and Virginia Lake Elementary, with quick access to IL-53, the Palatine Trail, parks, shopping, dining, and more!
