913 N FRANKLIN Avenue Set on a half-acre lot, this beautifully maintained two-story Colonial offers gorgeous curb appeal, a charming covered front porch, exceptional space, and a prime location minutes away from downtown Palatine! New hardwood floors were added in 2017 and run throughout the main level and staircase, complemented by newer carpet upstairs. Updated windows and exterior doors throughout fill the home with natural light and give it a fresh, updated feel. The kitchen offers oak cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a sun-filled breakfast nook with expansive picture windows. Convenient first-floor laundry with service door to the backyard. Additionally, a main level office located off the kitchen has a closet and could be used as a 5th bedroom. All four bedrooms upstairs are generously sized, and both the primary and hall bathrooms have been updated. Unfinished basement with a rough-in for a bathroom. Extensive updates include a roof replacement (2013), siding and gutters (2016), furnace and A/C (2016), exterior doors (2020), water heater (2020) and new windows (2024). Kitchen appliances and the washer and dryer have all been replaced in the last ten years. Step outside to enjoy the fenced, beautifully landscaped yard and cement patio, perfect for relaxing or entertaining on the spacious half-acre lot. Landscaping and a French drain were added in 2019, and the red cedar fence was installed in 2021. Best of both worlds-this home is connected to city water and sewer, yet the former well remains in use for the outdoor spigots, allowing you to water the landscaping without incurring city water fees. With approximately 3, 000 square feet of living space, this home offers both comfort and room to grow! Ideally located near the YMCA, Palatine Hills Golf Course, and Deer Grove Forest Preserve, with easy access to Deer Park's dining and shopping or downtown Palatine, where you'll find the Metra station, weekly farmers market, and vibrant nightlife.
