Where Nature Meets Modern-Day Convenience! Custom-built ranch, lovingly maintained by its original owner since 1997, offers a rare combination of privacy, comfort, and thoughtful design. Nestled on a beautifully landscaped 3/4-acre lot, it delivers a quiet, nature-filled setting while keeping daily life within easy reach. A spacious covered front porch offers a quiet place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Inside, the open layout flows effortlessly between the living and dining areas, all beneath a vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling with skylights and oversized windows that fill the space with natural light. The kitchen features oak cabinetry, granite countertops, ample storage, and opens directly to a large maintenance-free Trex deck-perfect for grilling, entertaining, or simply kicking back and enjoying the backyard. The main level includes three bedrooms and two full baths, including a generous primary suite with an en-suite bath and a jetted soaking tub-perfect for relaxing at the end of the day. The finished basement is thoughtfully laid out for entertaining-spacious yet cozy-with a stone-faced wet bar featuring ambient lighting and a gas stove-style fireplace that adds warmth and charm. Whether you're hosting game night, movie marathons, or casual get-togethers, the open design makes it easy to relax and connect. A versatile bonus room works great as a home office, gym, or creative space, and a third full bath with walk-in shower adds flexibility. A large laundry and storage area completes the lower level. The oversized 24' x 36' heated detached garage provides ample space for vehicles, hobbies, and storage. Large outdoor pet enclosure offers an added convenience for pet lovers. Thoughtfully maintained over the years, the home includes a roof replaced in 2018, HVAC and water heater from 2019, and a whole-house Kinetico water system-providing lasting quality and peace of mind. Tucked into a peaceful neighborhood and just minutes from Downtown Palatine, shopping, dining, award-winning schools, and the Metra train, the location also offers quick access to Rt. 53/I-355. Walk to trails, parks, and the forest preserve-perfect for outdoor lovers. This home offers space, comfort, and a lifestyle you'll love.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
