This updated red brick ranch sports seven rooms, three bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a first floor family room, 3 fireplaces, hardwood floors, partially finished basement, wide concrete drive, attached 1 car garage, inground sprinkler system & more all on a very generous 70x132 lot! When you enter the red brick ranch at 1109 Raleigh Road, you will be immediately taken by the open floor plan, the granite breakfast bar & kitchen counters in the 13 x 16 kitchen, the two wood burning fireplaces and light that pours in through expansive windows overlooking the 16 x 16 concrete patio and country club grounds. From the 12 x 4 tile foyer, you access the three carpeted bedrooms-- the Master(15 x 12) & two additional 12 x 12 bedrooms or the substantial 25 x 18 living/dining room combination that is flanked by the open kitchen on one end and the brick wood burning fireplace on the other.

Incorporated as a village in 1899, Glenview was originally a small farming community. Today, Glenview is a spacious and quiet residential community with tree-lined streets and an award-winning school system. Careful planning and zoning, proximity to the Loop and O’Hare Airport, and a wide variety of homes in every price range have helped make this village one of the most popular on the North Shore. Glenview boasts controlled growth with a flourishing commercial base, which keeps taxes low.

The community has developed the site of the former Glenview Naval Air Station called The Glen. Included in this development are 64 acres of mixed residential, 35 acres of business / retail use and a 72-acre commercial / light industrial office park as well as two new golf courses and a state-of-the-art fitness center.

Transportation

Metra rail service from the two Glenview stations connects commuters with the Loop in just over one half-hour. Drivers are conveniently close to the Edens Expressway (I-94) on the town’s eastern boundary and the Tri-State Tollway (I-294) to the west.

Schools

Most children attend District 34 elementary and junior high schools, then Glenbrook South High School in District 225, one of the highest rated schools in metropolitan Chicago. Some students attend New Trier and Maine Township schools. There are several private and parochial schools in the area. Oakton Community College in nearby Des Plaines also serves the area.

Recreation

Glenview’s award-winning Park District includes 30 parks and playgrounds, skating rinks, 28 outdoor and eight indoor tennis courts, two swimming pools, and an 18-hole public golf course. Park District programs are described in seasonal brochures mailed directly to residents, including a wide range of scheduled activities such as sports, arts, dance, fitness, and hobbies. Cook County Forest Preserve biking and horseback riding trails run through Glenview.

Shopping

Glenview is home to a wide variety of shopping and dining attractions. Old Orchard, The Glen Town Center, Golf Mill and Northbrook Court are major malls in the area.

Hospitals

Glenbrook Hospital serves the village. Lutheran General, Evanston Hospital, and Rush-North Shore Hospital are all just minutes from the community.

Places of Worship

All major denominations are represented with 22 places of worship within the village.
