About This Home

Welcome to 157 West Garden Court in Palatine-a spacious and well-maintained home tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, just steps from Deer Grove Forest Preserve's scenic walking and biking trails, with proximity to a golf course, parks, and shopping. This three-bedroom home with a lower-level office and three full bathrooms offers 1,856 square feet of comfortable living space. The main level features an open floor plan with wood laminate flooring, plus a bright, updated kitchen with white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an extended kitchen workspace with new drawers and counters (2023).
