This 3-story maintenance free home is an oasis of calm in the heart of downtown Palatine! Inside, welcome in through a wide-open, light, bright and airy main floor, maintaining a slight separation with a floating wall between the gracious living room and chef's kitchen. This clever design detail adds an accent wall to the living room, but also significant storage in the kitchen. Gleaming hardwood floors, cherry cabinets, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances were selected specifically for this high-functioning space. Light spills into the breakfast nook from sliding doors that lead right to a fabulous balcony. Enjoy your morning cup of coffee with a view of prairie plants and flowers in a nature preserve! Upstairs is clearly for comfort, three generously sized bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, plush neutral carpeting and big, bright windows. A massive master suite oozes with modern amenities, including a walk-in closet and luxe ensuite bathroom. The fully-finished basement boasts a walk out, with exceptional views over the prairie and space to roam. Tons of storage and another full bathroom! Enjoy outdoor living either grilling in your oversized balcony or your patio by your walkout basement. Maintenance free landscaping and included snow removal. Just a walk to downtown Palatine, Metra and more! Low association dues, exceptional location and style! Welcome home.
