Custom Contemporary Glencoe Home Hits Market For 1st Time

GLENCOE, IL — Located less than two blocks from Lake Michigan, this two-story cedar and stone home was custom built with high-end finishes and an open floor plan. The six-bedroom home on Beach Road has nearly 5,400 square feet of living space on a 0.39-acre lot, according to its listing. It was listed publicly Monday for the first time since it was built 18 years ago.

The home's master wing includes a private office, a large dressing room, a bedroom with vaulted ceilings and hardwood flooring and a balcony overlooking a patio and backyard with an outdoor cooking area, firepit and shower.

A bridge separates the master suite from four more upstairs bedrooms and two shared bathrooms.

The chef's kitchen has a large island and a breakfast room opening onto the patio, and the first floor also features a wood-burning stone fireplace in the living room.

The home's fully finished basement includes a rec room, another bedroom, a bathroom and a ton of storage, its listing said. There's also an attached garage with room for two cars.

The property was purchased in 1997 for $645,000, according to public records, and it is currently owned by a pair of entrepreneurs, the founder of an edible candle company and the CEO of a digital signage firm.

The estimated 2018 market value of the property is $1.375 million and its 2017 tax bill was $33,125, according to the county assessor's office. It was listed Sept. 4 for $2.5 million.
