Wow! House: Pond Highlights 4-Bedroom Home's Spacious Backyard

PALATINE, IL — Thanks to its spacious backyard that features a large pond, this four-bedroom Palatine house could have the new owners wanting to spend more time outside than indoors. The two-story, 3,139-square-foot home at 1252 W. Illinois Ave. has an asking price of $514,900. Since May, the sale price has dropped twice when it was on the market for $529,900, according to its listing at realtor.com.

Built in 1973, the residence comes with a finished walk-out basement that includes a rec room and fireplace. The sliding glass doors from that basement open to the landscaped backyard, and a short walk leads to the serene shared pond. A large deck also offers a great view of the waterfront lot.

Other features of the house include hardwood floors throughout the first floor and a kitchen with granite counters. The house also has newer siding and shutters. (Get Patch real-time email alerts for the latest Palatine news. And iPhone users: Check out Patch's new app.)
