Loyola University Chicago head men’s basketball coach Drew Valentine and his wife, Taylor, have listed their five-bedroom, 3,420-square-foot house in Glenview for sale for $1.149 million.
A Michigan native, Valentine, 33, was an assistant coach at Loyola from 2017 until 2021, including during the year when the team went to the NCAA’s Final Four. In 2021, he replaced the departed Porter Moser as the program’s head coach.
In Glenview, Valentine and his wife paid $995,000 in mid-2021 for the home, which at the time was newly built. The house has 4-1/2 bathrooms, nine-foot ceilings on the first floor and in the basement, white oak hardwood floors, a fully finished basement with a wet bar, and a kitchen with a large island with 2.5-inch quartz counters, plus top-of-the-line appliances such as a built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, a six-burner, 36-inch Viking range and a drawer microwave.
Other features include a custom staircase, a mud room with a built-in bench, a primary bedroom suite with a walk-in closet and a separate steam shower, Pella wood windows, Hardie board siding, an attached two-car garage and an outdoor deck.
The couple first listed the home in May for $1.249 million, and later that month they cut their asking price to $1.195 million. They reduced their asking price to $1.149 million in mid-June.
The house currently has a contract pending on it to sell.
Listing agent Chloe Reynolds declined to comment on the listing or on where the Valentines are headed.
The house had a $20,698 property tax bill in the 2022 tax year.
