Cons

Age of Major Renovation: While extensively rebuilt, the 'approximately 20 years ago' timeframe means some major systems and finishes are not brand new, potentially nearing the end of their typical lifespan for certain components.
Absence of Mentioned Cooling System: Despite emphasis on comfort and efficiency, the description does not explicitly specify a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant consideration during Walnut Creek's warmer months.
Undescribed Private Outdoor Living Areas: While the property features a generous 18,000 sqft lot and balconies, the description lacks details on dedicated private outdoor spaces such as a landscaped yard, patio, or specific recreational areas beyond the views, which might be expected for an estate of this caliber.
