Discover comfort, convenience, and pride of ownership in this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2 full bath, split-level, located in the highly desirable Winston Park neighborhood of Palatine. This lovely home has seen thoughtful updates and upgrades over the years, offering peace of mind, as well as modern living. Step inside to hardwood floors mostly throughout (and even beneath the carpet), vaulted ceilings in the living room, and an open layout! You'll LOVE the recently renovated kitchen with Shaker-style cabinets & drawers (w/brushed-nickel hardware), crown moulding, subway-tile backsplash, a pantry, stainless steel appliances, & recessed lighting! A wall was reconfigured to open up the kitchen to the dining area (something you probably won't see in the other split levels). The bathrooms have also been updated. Mechanical systems are in excellent shape: newer high-efficiency furnace (2018) with key components replaced in 2022, new hot water heater (2022), A/C unit (2023), updated windows (2020) and replacement electrical panel (2012). The lower level is beautifully finished with upgraded wood-look ceramic tile flooring - ideal for guests, recreation, or flexible living. It features a large family/rec room with a modern sparkling electric fireplace! Additionally, there is a convenient 2nd full bathroom, generous sized utility room with exterior exit to backyard, and large closet storage. Practical added features abound with this home: no overhead electrical (safer, more reliable), flood-prevention check-valve system, utility sink in laundry/utility room, and a double-wide driveway plus an extra paved parking apron/space for convenience. Located just a half-block from Maple Park, with public & private schools nearby, including District 15 for K-8 and the excellent Township High School District 211. Easy access to Routes 12 & 53 for commuting, prime shopping & dining in Palatine, and community amenities. This home is move-in ready - a rare chance to own in Winston Park with mechanicals done, charm intact, and location hard to beat.
