Stunning home on a private cul-de-sac! Solid oak flooring continues from the gracious 2-story foyer to the open kitchen that has a walk-in pantry and a sun-lit breakfast area turret overlooking a private yard with patio. This home is the essence of elegance! The curving oak staircase leads to 4 oversized bedrooms with large closets including the primary with its tray ceiling and extra sitting space, a huge walk-in closet and a spacious bathroom with separate tub and turret. A second staircase leads down to the main floor with its quiet living room, a dining room that can seat 12 or more and a 2-story family room with a gorgeous stone fireplace as its centerpiece. An additional bedroom/office and convenient full bath is right down the hall. The kitchen boasts a walk-in pantry, a central island and custom all-wood cabinetry. The first floor laundry area leads to the 3 car garage. The enormous full basement has roughed-in plumbing for another full bath, and there's plenty of space to make a game room, theater room, fitness area or another bedroom. There are 2 HVAC systems and 400 amp electrical service. New roof in 2022. The home's mature landscaping is accented by the quiet Deer Grove Forest Preserve surrounding the area. This serene setting is served by award-winning schools and a park district with 3 swimming pools and a golf course. Long Grove and Deer Park shopping & restaurants are nearby and there's easy access to a train station and Rt. 53. Historic downtown Palatine hosts many festivals and musical events thru-out the year for everyone's enjoyment. Not just a home - it's a way of life!
