Palatine is a very high end community off Glen Road. With mostly 2 acre lots, this community is filled with a variety of custom built homes.
This home is a lovely all brick colonial on a nice 2 acre lot. With 5 bedrooms and 4 full baths this home has just over 5800 square feet of living space. Believe it or not, as large as this home is, it is one of the smaller homes in this upscale community.
This colonial has a beautiful 2 story foyer with lots of natural light. The hope is exquisitely decorated with tasteful high end finishes wherever you look. The living room seems small for a home this size, but is is certainly adequate. The dining room is nice size and suitable for entertaining. The kitchen is long and narrow with 12x12 tile that suits the space. The central island is convenient and invites company to stand adjacent to chat. A fireplace in the Kitchen is a nice touch, and rarely seen.
The breakfast area adjacent to the kitchen is bright and filled with natural light. The windows look out to the back yard which would be a fabulous view while sipping your coffee. There is a laundry area and powder room adjacent to the breakfast area behind the garage. There is also a lovely covered deck to allow outdoor living minus mosquitoes. A great touch with a yard this nice.
The family room has cathedral ceilings and a nice stone fireplace. The height in this room is very dramatic and looks up to the bridge connecting both sides of the home.
The upstairs has 3 teen size bedrooms. One bedroom is en-suite and the others share a Jack and Jill bath. The master bedroom is nicely scaled and well decorated. The master bath is along the back of the home and has a separate shower and tub. This area provides a welcome nice oasis after a long day at work.
The basement is fully finished with lots of space. Game room, Pool table, home theatre....what more could you want? A bedroom and full bath for guests or au-pair completes the space and a walkout to the back allows access to the well tended yard.
Overall this is a killer home that shows like a model. The decorating is tasteful and comfortable. It would be hard not to feel comfortable here. The price on the other hand is a bit high. Although a recent short sale has thrown the market a little, this should be discounted by anyone gauging values. When all is said and done, this should fetch in the neighborhood of $1.975mm.
