Large single family homes in Southgate in The Glen

by

There’s roughly the same number of single family homes and attached homes in The Glen in Glenview, a North Shore suburban village close to Chicago.  Attached homes are townhomes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats and condos.  Of The Glen’s ten neighborhoods with privately-owned homes, five offer single family homes which is today’s blog topic.  Home prices for single family homes range from the $600s to over $2 million.

The largest single family homes are found in the Southgate development.  Southgate offers 237 homes ranging in size from 2600 to over 5000 square feet.  Fifty-five Estate Homes on lots of at least 1/3 of an acre border The Glen Club’s award-winning golf course, so the views are amazing.  The other 182 homes are found on Southgate’s lovely winding streets with large, beautiful trees and landscaping.

Southgate even has its own playground for small children.  It’s a private area for Southgate residents only.  Naturally this development, as with all Glen neighborhoods, is close to Glen Town Center’s many restaurants and shops as well as its movie theater and book store.  All in all, Southgate is hard to beat.

If you’re interested in large, beautiful homes, let me take you to Southgate to look around.  There are several homes for sale.

Ya gotta see this Glen townhome!

by

3233 Coral is cool.  Really cool.  And it’s in The Glen, the north shore’s premier community for urban style living in the suburbs.  You can take it from me not only because I’m a Realtor, but also because I am a long time Glen homeowner.  This two-bedroom townhome is located in the highly sought-after Glen neighborhood of Regency.  It boasts stunning hardwood floors, top of the line stainless steel appliances, granite counters and a lot of natural light.  In addition to the two bedrooms and 2.1 bathrooms, you’ll find a lovely living room, nifty loft, sophisticated kitchen with an adjacent eating area and a deck for relaxing or grilling.  Exterior maintenance and snow removal are provided by the homeowner association.  Regency is close to Glen Town Center’s shops, restaurants and movie theater; and it is walking distance to two superb golf courses (The Glen Club and Glenview Prairie Club).  List price $400,000.

New construction homes still available in The Glen

by

While The Glen has been around for about 15 years, there are still new construction homes available.  The newest development is called Westgate at The Glen.  Edward R. James Partners is the developer, and construction began two years ago.  As of this date, 90% of the homes have sold which means there is still an opportunity to purchase a beautiful new home in the ever popular Glen community.

The Glen is the premier lifestyle community on the North Shore in Glenview, Illinois.  It offers several residential neighborhoods in addition to Westgate and is anchored by Glen Town Center which has numerous restaurants, shops, a book store, coffee shop, and a movie theater.

Westgate is located adjacent to the Regency neighborhood of townhomes and villas just north of West Lake Avenue and west of Shermer Road.  This places it immediately across Shermer from Glenview Prairie Club Golf Course and across West Lake from The Glen Club, an 18 hole championship golf course.  It is near Southgate at the Glen which was also developed by the James team.  Westgate is convenient to Glen Town Center, Gallery Park, Attea Middle School, and the Glen’s Metra train station.

Westgate, when completed, will have 173 homes:  71 row homes, 68 Mews townhomes, and 34 single family homes.  The single family homes and row homes are configured with first floor master bedrooms; they have two stories.  The townhomes have three stories with all bedrooms on the top floor.  The row homes facing Shermer have golf course views.

The development has lovely common areas; and it is intended to provide “nearly maintenance-free” living.

Two large, stunning townhomes for sale in The Glen

by

How often do you find townhomes larger than 3000 square feet? The answer is ‘not too often’. Currently, however, there are two such homes for sale in The Glen (in Glenview Illinois), and both are absolutely stunning!

The Glen is the magnificent residential and retail development on the grounds of the old Naval Air Station Glenview, a former military air base long ago closed down and demolished. There are over 1300 luxury homes in the development in nine distinct neighborhoods. All kinds of home types are available including single family homes, townhomes, row homes, condos, two-flats and duplexes. We also have a retail “Main Street” called Glen Town Center with wonderful shops, restaurants, coffee houses, and Arclight Cinema.

One of the Glen neighborhoods is called Tower Crossing which is composed of 154 brick townhomes. They range in size between 3,031 and 4,105 square feet. The two townhomes that I am so excited about are Astoria models with dramatic 13’ ceilings, hardwood floors, and a huge master suite with walk in closets.

2013 Valor Court, priced at $719,500, offers 3,210 square feet of luxury living. It has 3 bedrooms, 2.2 bathrooms, a wood burning fireplace in the living room, and a striking chef’s kitchen with cherry cabinets and granite counters…which opens to a lovely balcony overlooking a professionally landscaped courtyard.

1807 Admiral Court, priced at $774,900, has 4 bedrooms and 3.1 baths in its 3,500 square feet. This home is an End Unit meaning it connects to only one other home and has a third wall of windows. In fact, there are 33 windows in this remarkable townhome. Thirty-three! You will find very few townhomes as large and as bright at this beautiful property.

Both of these homes are within an easy walk of Glen Town Center, Battery Park, Lake Glenview, the Glenview Park Center, Kohl Children’s Museum, and The Glen Club Championship Golf Course. Tower Crossing is known for its “urban living in the suburbs” character. If you may be interested in either of these properties or living anywhere in The Glen, please contact me. I am a long time Glen homeowner and an award winning Realtor affiliated with The Glen Realty Group and @properties Residential Real Estate.
