A $3.5M Keck teardown in Glencoe

573 Longwood, Glencoe IL

Today’s new listings include a 5-bedroom, 4 ½ bath lakefront home in Glencoe attributed to Keck & Keck. It’s priced at $3,495,000.

The home, on an acre-plus lot at 573 Longwood Dr is being sold “as is” as a “could rehab.” The listing suggests that the value is in the land, making the home a teardown candidate.

The Keck & Keck firm designed many homes on Chicago’s North Shore, including a passive-solar subdivision (Forest Crest) in Glencoe which you can tour with me in this video. Note: the video was shot when the cicadas were at their loudest.

I hope this gets restored, we’re losing too much of our architectural heritage.

Sheridan B,

I haven’t seen this home, but I have seen Kecks that could easily be mistaken for storage sheds. Sometimes history doesn’t equal heritage.
