The 14-room contemporary at 630 Stonegate Ter has both on a ¾-acre wooded site midway between the Skokie Lagoons and the pedestrian-scaled downtown Glencoe. The split-level home has 5 bedrooms, 4 full and 2 half baths, a lower-level... Read more »

In Glencoe, the price on Mary is quite contrary

When we first visited 120 Mary St in Glencoe, back in July of 2006, the property was the subject of a teardown permit request and a new home was being offered at $4,250,000.

Remember when North Shore teardowns were hot?

Six years ago builders seeking North Shore teardown lots were as common as flower-munching deer in Highland Park. Today I can find only 4 homes listed as teardown candidates on the North Shore, three in Glencoe and one in Winnetka. Listings for vacant land are also scarce and many of those listings have lingered on... Read more »
