About This Home
Move In Now. Make It Yours Over Time. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath split-level in Palatine's Willow Wood neighborhood offers comfortable living today with opportunities to personalize the finishes over time. Hardwood floors and large windows brighten the living room and separate dining area, where a built-in window seat adds character and hidden storage. The kitchen is clean, functional, and ready to enjoy as-is or update to reflect your style. The third bedroom features a custom built-in office with extensive cabinetry, shelving, drawers, and workspace, creating a flexible space for work, study, hobbies, or storage. An approximately 350 sq. ft. screened porch with ceiling fan, electrical outlets, and window covers provides additional covered living space overlooking the fenced backyard with mature trees and established landscaping. The unfinished lower level provides additional flexible space and already includes insulation, a finished ceiling, recessed lighting, and a completed full bathroom.
