Single-Family Home Model Opens at Park Place Glenview

Glenview-based The Drake Group and its exclusive sales and marketing firm, @properties, announced the grand opening of a single-family home model in the maintenance-free community of Park Place Glenview.

Located at 1225 Waukegan Rd., just south of Lake Avenue, Park Place Glenview offers 26 residences including 12 single-family homes and 14 row homes. All residences come with three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, a full unfinished basement, an attached two-car garage, and flex space for a den, office, fourth bedroom or loft/bonus room per plan. Standard finishes include granite countertops, hardwood floors in living areas and kitchens, and stainless steel appliances. A wide variety of options allow buyers to customize floor plans and features.

The two single-family home plans include:

• The Aldrich, which has 2,317 square feet and a first-floor master bedroom suite. Base prices start at $765,000.
• The Palmer, which has 2,501 square feet and a second-floor master bedroom. Base prices start at $799,900.

Also available at Park Place Glenview are row homes ranging from 2,113 to 2,429 square feet and base-priced from $495,000 to $610,000.

The model, showcasing the Palmer plan, has a large family room at the front of the home, an open-concept kitchen and an adjoining dining area. The kitchen features an island, ample storage space and 42-inch upper cabinets. There are two outdoor spaces on the main level, including a front porch and a deck tucked into a private alcove off the kitchen.

The upstairs rooms are separated by an expansive loft. To the left, the master suite features an en-suite bath and two spacious walk-in closets. The secondary bedrooms, on the opposite side of the loft, have their own large walk-in closets. The second floor also has a full-sized laundry room. One unique option in the Palmer is a deck or screened-in porch accessed from the loft.

“Flexibility is really one of the big keys in home design today, and we built a lot of it into the single-family plans at Park Place Glenview,” said Tom Drake, president of The Drake Group. “Glenview is attractive to so many types of homeowners, so it was important that each plan accommodate different needs and lifestyles.”

“It’s not easy to hit this price point with single-family new construction on the North Shore. Tom and his team have pulled off a small miracle. People will be so pleasantly surprised when they walk into these homes. They’re as comfortable as a favorite pair of jeans, and they’re anything but cookie cutter,” said @properties sales agent Ramie Robbins.

Park Place Glenview features brick-paved streets and bountiful landscaping for each home, as well as a pocket park for residents. The community has direct access to a village walking path that connects to Lyon Elementary School.

“The Drake Group took a lot of care to give Park Place Glenview a strong sense of place,” said Cyndy Salgado, executive vice president of development sales for @properties. “Tom has been building custom homes here for years, so he has a deep understanding of the Glenview community. He made sure Park Place fit right in.”

Park Place Glenview’s location adds to its appeal. Situated in East Glenview, the community is less than one mile from the Glenview Metra Station, top-rated public schools, North Shore Country Club and Sleepy Hollow and Jackman parks. A variety of restaurants, shops and businesses are within walking distance.
