One step inside this beautifully lit, open and airy home, and you'll know this is the place. The front room welcomes you with a statement fireplace, open plan, and 10ft ceilings with crown molding. This main level flows into a stunning updated kitchen with abundant cabinet space, and endless granite countertops with a huge central eat-in island around which guests will love to gather. Through the kitchen slider, a balcony spans the entire width of the home - perfect for grilling, relaxing, or gardening. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite features a walk-in closet and spacious double-sink bathroom. Down the hall, past the conveniently located laundry, is a large second bedroom with its own elegantly updated full bathroom. One more surprise awaits above: the crown jewel of Palatine rowhome living - an incredible private roof-top deck. All this plus a finished basement, private garage, and just steps from both the Metra and downtown area.
