Wild and Woodsy—Glenview
By Dennis Rodkin
List Price: $1.525 million
The Property: From its jaunty Z-shaped façade to its show-stopping red and chrome kitchen, this exuberant four-bedroom Glenview house doesn’t hold back. It even comes with a built-in exclamation point—made of wood inlay and situated on the master bedroom floor. Read more

By Dennis Rodkin
List Price: $1.775 million
The Property: Some people bring home pictures of picturesque old homes they admired while traveling.

On the Market: Majestic River View in River North
By Dennis Rodkin

List Price: $990,000
The Property: The spectacular view is the primary attraction of this two-bedroom condo on the 13th floor of the 38-story Riverbend; it looks eastward along the main branch of the Chicago River, taking in all the soaring skyscrapers that flank its sides and the muscular bridges that cross it. From the condo balcony, the el trains on the Wells Street bridge “look like Mr. Rogers’...
