Fabulous opportunity in south Palatine to customize this spacious ranch into your personal masterpiece! Exceptional footprint & design includes a 3-bedroom layout that can easily be converted into four. Enjoy two large living spaces on the main level with the kitchen connected to dining. The primary bedroom comes complete with en suite bath, and a large mudroom with first-level laundry connects to the oversized (wide & deep!) 2-car garage. Hardwood floors ramble through the kitchen, dining and front room. Two fireplaces, one on the main level and another in the finished basement's huge rec area, presenting ideal settings for relaxation and entertainment. The full, sprawling basement unfolds into gaming areas, bonus kitchen and a workroom with more than enough storage. Step outside & enjoy comfort and quiet with a half-acre lot and a grove of trees that exude beauty and privacy with room to run. The patio off of the dining and family areas is large enough for several tables and various setups. The mostly brick & stone exterior makes maintenance a breeze. Beautifully appointed with delightful curb appeal, does it get any better? Yes! Quick access to major roads, yet tucked into the middle of the neighborhood for that coveted great location / silent zone feel. Come see it before it's gone!
