Naval Air Station Glenview

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.

Large variety of luxury home types and prices in The Glen

by

One of the great things about The Glen is the variety of home types, styles and prices available to buyers. The Glen is residential and retail development in Glenview Illinois on the grounds of the former Naval Air Station Glenview. It’s just eighteen miles north of downtown Chicago or, to put it another way, a short train ride to Union Station. The first homes in The Glen were built about fifteen years ago, and new construction continues in one of our ten neighborhoods, Westgate. But this article isn’t about Westgate at The Glen or commute times. It’s about variety.

There are about 1300 homes in The Glen, not counting retirement and assisted living facilities. Of those 1300 properties about half are single family homes while the other half (naturally) consists of attached housing units of various types. For instance, there are townhomes (some as large as 4100 square feet), row homes, condos, duplexes, and two-flats. We have brick homes, wood homes, single level homes, four-story homes, small homes, and huge homes. There are homes overlooking the retail area (Glen Town Center), along the Gallery Park, and bordering the two Glen golf courses. We have colonial homes, contemporary homes, Georgian homes, and home styles that don’t exactly fit any particular style…except really beautiful!

Home prices in The Glen vary widely. On the lower end are some lovely luxury condos and townhomes starting in the $300’s. On the high side, some single family homes bordering The Glen Club’s award-winning golf course sell for well over $2 million. So, whatever your housing budget, the odds are pretty good that you can find a wonderful home here.

I’ve lived in The Glen since the early days of the development, and I am an award-winning Realtor affiliated with @properties. My Glen Realty Group is focused on the sale of new and existing homes here in this very special community. If you may be interested in a Glen home, please call me at 847-401-1802 or email me at margaretludemann@gmail.com.

Tower Crossing…REALLY big townhomes

by

Ever heard of a townhome with over 4,000 square feet? I didn’t think so. Well, unless you live in Tower Crossing in The Glen, home to 154 townhomes ranging in size from 3,031 to 4,105 square feet, depending on the model. It’s not only a cool place…it’s MY cool place. I’ve lived here since 2003 when the first units were built.

The Glen is the luxury residential development in Glenview, Illinois built on the grounds of the former Naval Air Station Glenview. It consists of about 2,100 homes and nearly 5,000 residents in several unique Glen communities. There are single family homes, townhomes, row homes, two-flats, duplexes, condos, and rental apartments. Oh, there are also two retirement communities.

Tower Crossing offers six basic models, two major variations of certain models, and more options and upgrades than you can count. So, truly, no two homes are alike. The majority of these luxury homes have three bedrooms, but there are plenty with four as well. We even have a few with two and (gulp) five bedrooms. All are brick homes with four stories. All have private decks, some also have elevators, private yards, and patios. Tower Crossing borders Glen Town Center with its many shops, boutiques, and restaurants. Some also border The Glen Club, an award-winning 18-hole championship golf course. So, homeowners have everything within a few steps. Wait a minute. Not everything. You actually have to walk about 8 minutes to The Glen Metra Station with convenient train service to the city (downtown Chicago).

If you’re curious about Tower Crossing you can go to www.TowerCrossingHomes.com or give me a call at 847-401-1802. Not only do I live in Tower Crossing, but I am an award winning Realtor who specializes in Glen homes.
