Bring your toolbox or call your contractor! Great opportunity to make this vintage 1914 two-story your own! Gorgeous oak woodwork thru-out, high ceilings, hardwood floors and custom stained glass windows. 3 or 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths and full walk-up attic with expansion possibilities. Enclosed front porch and separate enclosed entry. First floor has small office and second floor has identical room above it that could be a nursery or dressing room. Fenced yard and 3 car garage. Basement has interior and exterior access. Some updates have been done such as 200 amp electric but house needs work in kitchen and baths. Roof approx 10 yrs old. Great area in historic downtown Palatine near shopping, restaurants, parks, train station, award-winning schools and other amenities.
