On the Market: Updated ranch in Arlington Heights
The idea of coming home and sitting out on the patio with a drink has special appeal on those warm spring, summer and fall nights. And no one could imagine a more idyllic setting for such a relaxing evening than the yard of this Arlington Heights ranch home, which is currently on the market.
Someone with great gardening talent and love created an oasis here in the middle of a bustling Northwest suburb. There is a large flagstone patio, along with a very deep lot that makes one feel that they are sitting in a botanical garden instead of in a private yard. Lush greenery and trees abound.
But don't forget the house. It is an updated ranch with custom cabinetry, a full complement of stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, hardwood floors and a finished lower level.
