01About this home

Welcome to 1597 Monterey Drive, designed and built by renowned architect Basil Crittenden, this distinguished estate has been thoughtfully refreshed to reflect a lighter, more modern aesthetic while preserving its timeless architectural character. Perfectly positioned along the 7th hole of The Glen Club, the home offers sweeping golf course views and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Recent enhancements include freshly painted stucco, newly painted interiors, and newly installed carpeting, including the staircase, creating a bright and move-in-ready environment. A grand foyer opens to soaring ceilings, formal living and dining rooms, a private office, and a chef's kitchen by NEFF featuring double Sub-Zero refrigeration, dual Wolf ranges, Miele convection oven, built-in coffee station, ice maker, and a Carrera marble island with matching dining table. Just off the breakfast area, the covered porch now features a newly installed built-in Wolf BBQ, enhancing the home's natural flow for outdoor dining and entertaining. The second floor hosts the spacious primary suite along with four additional bedrooms. The primary suite has been refreshed with new paint and a modernized coffee bar. While the primary bath has updated hardware, lighting, and glass doors creating a clean, modern spa-like feel. Two bedrooms feature en-suite baths, while two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath. The finished walk-out lower level offers exceptional entertainment and wellness amenities, including heated floors, a media room, gym, theater, 700-bottle wine cellar, steam room, and an updated spa bathroom. A custom sauna featuring traditional Finnish heat or infrared-ready therapy for a modern wellness experience. The basement bar and entertainment center have been freshly painted to brighten the space, and an au-pair suite and full wet bar complete the level. Outdoors, enjoy a heated pool and spa by Barrington Pools surrounded by lush landscaping and serene golf course views. The heated three-car garage features epoxy floors and crown molding. With natural maple floors, curated updates, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout, 1597 Monterey Drive offers refined luxury and resort-style living in one of Glenview's most coveted golf course settings. Welcome Home!
