Stunning and spacious 2 story custom brick, stone and cedar home with walk-out basement, 3+ car garage/shop with access doors to rear yard. 6,165 sq ft of living space situated on a massive 1.75 acre private lot with approximately 1/2 of which is a maintenance free prairie, creates a feeling of being out in the country. This picturesque property with mature trees and landscaping is all within 4 minutes of the Metra station, restaurants, and all that downtown Palatine has to offer. A carefully planned addition was added to the home. Besides welcoming curb appeal, it created a harmonious blend of Craftsman details and classic charm, while maximizing space and functionality. Since then, countless improvements were completed. Most recently in June of 2023, a completely new roof including Velux skylights, gutter guards and downspouts was installed. First floor features a kitchen with breakfast bar that is open to the dining room, eating area, family room and it is connected to a large and stunning cedar post and beam screened porch with raised deck that overlooks a serene and private backyard. A natural prairie at the rear portion of the lot creates a feeling of being out in the country. The remainder of the first floor includes a living room with a masonry fireplace, a flex area with a desk alcove, a separate oversized laundry room and a mud room with a 1/2 bath, closet, bench and hanging storage. First floor highlights are two bedrooms and a full bath which can also be utilized as a private suite by closing the pocket door. Second floor features a master suite with a large bathroom, both with stunning and private views of the tree lined yard. There's also a large closet area, sitting room, multipurpose room and 534 sq ft of walk-in attic storage. Two more oversized bedrooms, one with an attached 1/2 bath and a full hall bath.
