Live, Dine, Shop, Play...in the North Shore’s Premiere Community

The Glen…Convenient to Everything

February 1, 2019 by Margaret Ludemann

My husband and I recently purchased a condo in his home town of Omaha.  It’s for investment purposes, at least for now.  Someday way down the road after I retire, we may use it personally as well as keeping our home here in The Glen (in the north shore community of Glenview).

Why do I mention this?  Well, because we chose a location very much like The Glen.  By that I mean, the condo is within walking distance of restaurants, shopping, and a movie theater.  After living in The Glen, we couldn’t imagine spending time – full or part – in a place that doesn’t have this level of convenience.

Our Glen home is a half-block from a great pizza place, Your Pie.  Within the three-block long main street called Tower Drive, we have a choice of numerous restaurants, wonderful shops, Arclight Cinema, Kohl Children’s Museum, a laundry, ice cream parlor, Starbucks and so much more.  We can even walk to a Metra train station that gets us to Chicago’s loop in 30 – 45 minutes.  If I wasn’t a Realtor, I’m not sure we would even own a car.

So, if this sounds like a great place to live, give me a call.  There are many luxury home types currently for sale including single family, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats and condo/apartments.  Prices range from around $400,000 to over $2 million.  Certainly, you can find one that’s perfect for you.

First floor master bedrooms in The Glen

August 13, 2018 by Margaret Ludemann

There aren’t a lot of homes with first floor master bedrooms in The Glen (in Glenview Illinois), much less two that are for sale at the same time.  But there are two stunning duplexes on the market right now.  Both are in the lovely Regency neighborhood with have water views.

2172 Dauntless offers two bedrooms plus an office/den that could serve as a third.  The master bedroom’s ensuite bathroom offers a walk-in shower, dual sinks and granite counters.  This home’s price is $659,000.

3154 Valcour is a three-bedroom home with three bathrooms.  It has a beautiful kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counters and a sizable pantry.  The finished basement boasts a family room, kitchenette, full bathroom and storage room.  The list price is 697,000.

Not only are these wonderful homes, but living in The Glen also offers all of the fun of Glen Town Center, The Glen’s “main street” with its many restaurants, shops and movie theater.  If you may be interested in The Glen, please contact me.  I am a long time Glen resident and a Realtor who focuses on this wonderful community.

Why a home sale falls through

April 19, 2016 by Margaret Ludemann

Home sales are complicated. There’s a lot more to it than putting a buyer and seller together. Things can go wrong. Deals do not always close. And here are the top reasons why some home purchases fall through:

Inspection surprises. Each transaction involves an inspection by a licensed home inspector. Some are very good. Some, not so much. Among the “not so much” group you’ll find inspectors who identify numerous very small issues which, while not material, scare the heck out of the buyers, causing them to back out of the purchase.

Buyer financing. Even if the buyer is “pre-approved” by a lender, it does not guarantee financing. Sometimes when the lender looks more deeply into the buyer’s financial condition, they find issues that cause them to reject the mortgage application.

Low appraisal. During periods when homes are appreciating in value, appraisals are typically not a problem. In soft markets, though, it is not uncommon for a home appraisal to come in lower than the agreed-upon purchase price. In this case, lenders either choose to not make the loan or demand a higher down payment. The buyer can back out or seek a lower price from the seller.

Buyer remorse. Occasionally a buyer simply gets cold feet, and, unfortunately, he usually gets his earnest money back. Bad news for the homeowner and for the Realtor.

An experienced Realtor can help to minimize these risks, though failed transactions can happen to any seller and any Realtor. I even see this occasionally in The Glen (in Glenview, Illinois) where I live and work. The Glen is an upscale residential community with luxury homes…single family homes, condos, townhomes, two-flats, and duplexes. The price points are substantial, so we typically see qualified buyers who are serious about their home search. But, as I say, it can happen.

If you may be interested in The Glen or greater Glenview, please call or email me.

The Glen’s art fair was a huge success…again!

August 10, 2015 by Margaret Ludemann

The annual Glen Art Fair was held this past weekend, August 8 and 9, and as always it was a huge success. This prestigious (and fun!) event attracted scores of artists from throughout the United States to Tower Drive, Glen Town Center’s “main street”. Attendance was high, and as they say, a good time was had by all.

The Glen is the north shore’s premier lifestyle community, meaning it has beautiful homes, an outstanding array of restaurants, upscale shopping, jogging trails, golf courses, tennis courts, and a picturesque lake.  It is located on the site of the former Glenview Naval Air Station in Glenview, Illinois, approximately 18 miles north of downtown Chicago.

Visitors to the fair were treated to art of many genres including paintings, photography, sculpture, glass works, folk art, crafts, cartooning, digital art, and even what is known as “wearable art”. In fact, as I’m typing this blog, I’m wearing a striking blouse that I purchased at the fair. I live in the Glen’s Tower Crossing development only a block away from the fair!

This will all occur again next August. You might want to jot it down in your calendar. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as those of us who are fortunate homeowners and residents of The Glen. And if you may be interested in living in the Glen, please give me a call. I am a local realtor who specializes in Glen properties – single family homes, row homes, town homes, two flats, duplexes and condos.

Walk to Glen Town Center’s restaurants and shops from your new condo at Patriot Commons

June 29, 2015 by Margaret Ludemann

Condos in the Glen have always sold well. And why not? After all, not only do you get a beautiful home, but you also get the incredible lifestyle that only the Glen has to offer. Let me tell you more.

The Glen is the premier lifestyle community on Chicago’s north shore in Glenview Illinois. The focal point is Glen Town Center with its 17 restaurants, scores of shops including a great book store, a 10 screen movie theater, and much more. There are 9 residential neighborhoods with all types of luxury homes including single family, townhomes, row homes, condos, duplexes, villas, and two-flats. And…new construction is still available!

I would highly recommend the Patriot Commons development which offers breathtaking condos ranging in size between 1050 and 1400 square feet. One and two bedroom units (some with dens) are for sale offering hardwood floors and stunning chef’s kitchens with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and Kohler faucets. Some units have dramatic views of The Glen Club Championship Golf Course; and all homes have private balconies. Indoor parking is available for all units.

But the homes are only part of the story. Patriot Commons homes are only a few steps from Glen Town Center, so your “commute” to an evening out is – if you’re walking slowly – about a minute or two. You can also walk to The Glen’s Metra Station with train service to Chicago’s Union Station in about a half hour.

Patriot Commons FINAL PHASE is over half sold out, but there are still 14 striking homes available with delivery expected in the fall of 2016. Home prices range between $325,000 and $482,000. If you would like to see Patriot Commons please contact me. I am a Glen homeowner and an award winning Realtor affiliated with @properties.
