The Glen Metra Station

Living in The Glen’s Tower Crossing neighborhood

by

I live in Tower Crossing in The Glen.  I do.  And I love it.  Always have.  Always will.

I moved here to Glenview in the relatively early days of The Glen development back in 2003.  In fact, my gorgeous townhome is on Lot #1 of the Tower Crossing neighborhood, one of 9 distinct developments in The Glen.  Some Glen neighborhoods have single family homes, others offer row homes, two-flats, duplexes and condos.  That’s my townhome in the photo, the end unit on the right.  Four stories, 3 bedrooms, 3.1 bathrooms, 2 fireplaces, a luxurious kitchen…and a whole bunch of fun.

Fun?  Yes fun!  I can easily walk to Glen Town Center’s many shops, restaurants and movie theater.  In fact, there’s a great little pizza place, Your Pie, a half block from my front door.  (I should count the number of steps someday.)  The Glen Metra station is a 10-minute stroll, and I have a big park nearly across the street.  It’s a lot like living in the city where we used to live, but…it has wonderful attributes of the suburbs, too.  Get this, I have two golf courses a block from my home.  Two!  The park has walking and biking trails.  The schools are incredible.  I mean REALLY incredible, award-winning schools.  I can get to O’Hare in 20 minutes by car, and the Loop in 45 minutes by train.  You can’t beat it.

If this is the kind of place you might like to live, give me a call at 847-401-1802 or email me at MargaretLudemann@cbexchange.com.  I’m an award-winning Realtor who knows The Glen inside and out.  There are several stunning Tower Crossing homes for sale and some great homes in other Glen neighborhoods, too.

Cambridge at The Glen offers a large variety of home types

by

The Glen in Glenview Illinois is an upscale residential and retail development on the grounds of a former Navy air station. It is composed of several neighborhoods, each with its own particular character. Cambridge at the Glen is unique among the Glen neighborhoods because it has the greatest variety of home types.

There are 279 homes in the Cambridge development which consists of single family homes, duplexes, townhomes, row homes and two-flats. Most of the other neighborhoods have only one or perhaps two home types. Here is a breakdown of the number of luxury homes by type in Cambridge:

  • 108 townhomes and row homes
  • 104 traditional single family homes
  • 19 estate-style single family homes
  • 35 duplexes
  • 13 two-flats

All homes in Cambridge are within walking distance of Glen Town Center’s many shops and restaurants. You can also walk to Gallery Park, two golf courses, and Kohl Children’s Museum. Cambridge is also the closest of the Glen neighborhoods to The Glen’s Metra Station that can get you to downtown Chicago in 31 to 44 minutes depending on time of day.

Home prices in Cambridge range from the $400’s to over a million dollars. There is also great diversity in the sizes of these homes, from less than 2,000 square feet to more than 4,000 square feet. The large estate homes and striking townhomes grace a grand boulevard in the center of Cambridge, while charming Rockwellian “front porch Americana” homes adorn smaller side streets with names like Butterfly Lane and Sundrop Drive.  Tasteful landscaping enhances the beauty of the Cambridge neighborhood and of each home.

6. Count them. 6 bedroom home in The Glen

by

Single family homes with six bedrooms are hard to find.  And the one I am writing about today is particularly uncommon.  When you imagine a home with this many bedrooms you might think about a three story home with three bedrooms on each of the top two floors.  But that’s not the case here.

1592 Primrose, a stunning, two-story Colonial home in the highly sought-after Landings neighborhood in The Glen (in Glenview, Illinois), has a main floor bedroom with ensuite bath AND a master bedroom, also with ensuite bath, on the second floor.  In other words, it has what can be described as two master bedrooms…perhaps using the one on the first floor as an in-law suite.  That’s unusual…and unusually attractive to many buyers.

This home also offers five full bathrooms and a first floor powder room.  There is a lovely formal living room with fireplace, a stately dining room, an office, and a walk-in pantry. The kitchen is designed for entertaining, consisting of two islands with granite counters, a breakfast area, and a wet bar. There are new wood floors in the main living areas.

The second floor is home to the other bedrooms, a loft with built-in desk, and a laundry room. The garage has been extended for three cars; and the backyard offers a children’s play area and a lovely paver patio.

1592 Primrose is close to everything The Glen has to offer. It is a short walk to Gallery Park, Lake Glenview, the Glenview Park Center, Little Bear Garden, and Glen Town Center’s many restaurants, shops, and Arclight Cinema. It is also in close proximity to The Glen’s Metra station, The Glen Club’s championship golf course, Glenview Prairie Club (golf and paddle tennis), and a Jewell Osco grocery store & pharmacy.

This beautiful home is offered for sale at $1,169,000. For more information please contact me at margaretludemann@gmail.com or 847-401-1802.
