Description
Some homes are simply lived in. Others are loved, meticulously cared for and become part of a home's story. Welcome to 2200 Rohlwing Rd., a charming 4-bedroom, 2-bath Rolling Meadows ranch cared for by only two families since it was built in 1955, when its address was still Arlington Heights before city boundaries changed-and now, for just the third time in its history, it's ready for a new owner to write the next chapter! Offering approximately 1,700 sq. ft. of finished living space, it blends warmth, comfort and thoughtful updates throughout. The nearly quarter-acre lot, mature shade trees, manicured lawn, layered landscaping and stone-accented facade create wonderful curb appeal. Tucked behind a landscaped berm, a charming sitting area offers a quiet retreat. A replaced front door with stained-glass insert welcomes you inside. Step into the recently repainted interior, beginning with the living room featuring Hickory engineered hardwood flooring. Pocket doors between the living room and kitchen add character and flexible separation. The kitchen, remodeled in 2011, features beautiful maple cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, stainless-steel appliances and ceramic tile flooring. Three main-level bedrooms feature luxury vinyl flooring with the look of hardwood, installed in 2025, with the smaller third bedroom also making an ideal home office. The remodeled main-floor bath (2016) features a white subway tile surround and skylight tube for natural light. The replaced rear door has blinds enclosed within the glass for added privacy. But wait-there's more! Head downstairs to a finished lower level with recessed lighting throughout. The recreation area features Hickory engineered hardwood flooring and useful cabinetry, making it ideal as a TV room, home office, craft area or hobby space-the current owner used it as her sewing room. Also downstairs is the home's large fourth bedroom featuring its own sitting area, a LARGE walk-in closet and private full bath, creating an impressive lower-level suite ideal for guests or extended family. An extra refrigerator and separate freezer are included. Want updates? There's plenty here too! The electrical circuit panel was replaced in 2008, roof in 2018, and siding, soffits, gutters and added insulation were completed in 2023, including a substantial 1.5-inch foam backer. R-38 insulation was also added to the attic. The driveway and patio were completed in 2017. And the pride of ownership continues outdoors. Gather around the brick firepit, relax beneath the included pergola beside the garage or enjoy the large backyard where the family spent many happy hours playing horseshoes. A large shed adds valuable storage. Need parking? In addition to the 2-car garage, the expansive asphalt driveway can accommodate at least SEVEN vehicles-a rare convenience. Location is another standout! Easy Route 53 access puts Woodfield Mall, Harper College and downtown Palatine and Arlington Heights within easy reach. Commuters will appreciate being minutes from the Arlington Park Metra station with service to downtown Chicago. The home is also served by highly rated Rolling Meadows High School. Love the outdoors? A walking, jogging and bicycle path across the street connects south to nearly 13 miles of paved Busse Woods trails. South Park is around the corner with playgrounds, picnic shelter, basketball court and green space. Kimball Hill Park adds fishing, concerts, zipline and sports fields; Nelson Sports Complex offers swimming, fitness and ice skating. Meticulously cared for by both its original and current owners, pride of ownership can be felt from the moment you arrive. Comfortable, practical and full of character, 2200 Rohlwing Rd. isn't simply offering its next owner a house-it's offering the opportunity to become part of a story more than 70 years in the making. Too much to list here! Come see it for yourself and perhaps you'll be the one to begin its next chapter. Schedule a private showing today!
