Property Description

Custom-built Mid-Century modern ranch set up on a hilly, corner lot in park-light setting true today just as it was originally designed to be 75 years ago by the neighborhood’s original and visionary designer. This architecturally striking home features a stone and cypress facade, low-slung rooflines, and dramatic angles that showcase its 1950s Mid-Century flair. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interior with natural light and visually extend the living spaces into the scenic corner lot and natural landscape. Inside, original finishes include stonework, slate flooring, custom cabinetry and warm tongue-and-groove wood paneling. The vaulted living room-with its stunning original wood ceiling-is ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Just off the living room, the open-concept, recently remodeled kitchen and separate dining room--also with the original wood ceiling-- overlook the extended patio through expansive floor to ceiling windows. A dramatic stone fireplace offers a warm, natural connection between the living and dining areas. A charming bar nook sits just off the kitchen-perfect for casual entertaining. The private bedroom wing features three generous bedrooms with volume ceilings, bold architectural lines, and two beautifully renovated full baths. Downstairs, the lower level exudes Mad Men vibes-you can practically imagine Don Draper crafting ad campaigns here. A spacious family room/office includes a natural brick fireplace, wet bar, and above-grade windows that fill the space with light. In addition, you’ll find a 3rd full bathroom, laundry area and plenty of storage space. The oversized heated garage includes two full bays plus an additional third bay with coated floors, windows, and a well-equipped workshop with built-in shelving and workbench. Out back, a spacious coated concrete patio offers two distinct zones for dining and lounging-perfect for summer gatherings or quiet mornings. Located in the heart of Palatine’s highly sought-after Plum Grove Estates, this home overlooks one of the neighborhood’s most scenic corners. Appreciated for its century-old trees, tranquil ponds, and winding roads, Plum Grove Estates also offers a beautiful park and recreation space available for use by homeowners. Thanks to generations of thoughtful homeowners and a dedicated Homeowner’s Association, Plum Grove Estates continues to embody the peaceful, park-like vision of its original developers.
