Despite being built in 1977, this property has undergone an extensive, high-end renovation, bringing it to 'virtually new' condition. The 'showcase gourmet kitchen' features custom Shamrock cabinets, a 48" Sub-Zero Pro Refrigerator/freezer, quartz countertops, and a soapstone island, all indicative of recent, top-tier upgrades. Bathrooms are also updated with modern fixtures like Grohe hand showers. Major systems have been replaced or upgraded, including a new air duct system, tankless water heater, Renewal by Anderson windows, and engineered hardwood floors throughout. These comprehensive renovations, coupled with the quality of materials and appliances, align perfectly with the 'excellent' criteria of being fully renovated recently with components meeting current quality standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive High-End Upgrades: The home boasts a showcase gourmet kitchen with custom Shamrock cabinets, Sub-Zero Pro refrigerator/freezer, quartz countertops, soapstone island, and touchless faucet. Further upgrades include engineered hardwood floors, Renewal by Anderson windows, Renaissance doors, crown molding, plastered walls, tankless water heater, and three custom fireplaces.
Exceptional Community Amenities: Residents enjoy exclusive access to the Sun & Sail club, offering resort-style living with pools, tennis courts, pickleball, a fitness center, scenic walking trails, and a clubhouse, enhancing lifestyle and property value.
Large, Private, and Landscaped Lot: Situated on a generous 11,700 sq. ft. lot that backs to woods, the property offers significant privacy. The backyard features extensive brick landscaping and artificial turf, creating a beautiful and low-maintenance outdoor living space.
Thoughtful Design & Modern Comforts: The property includes 10' high ceilings in key living areas, a flexible 5-bedroom layout (with a downstairs office option), a laundry chute in the primary bath, and improved HVAC with a new air duct system, solar attic fan, and quiet cool whole house fan.
Desirable Location & Views: Located in the Whispering Trees community in Lake Forest, the property benefits from a private setting backing to woods and offers a 'Park/Greenbelt' view, contributing to its serene appeal.

Cons

Property Age: Built in 1977, despite extensive renovations, the underlying structure and some systems are over 45 years old, which may raise concerns for some buyers regarding long-term maintenance or potential for unforeseen issues compared to newer constructions.
Limited Bathroom Count: For a 5-bedroom home, 2.5 bathrooms might be considered a lower ratio by some buyers, potentially leading to congestion or a desire for more en-suite facilities, especially for larger families.
Varying Elementary School Rating: While the high school and some elementary schools have good ratings, one of the nearby elementary schools (Santiago Elementary School) has a lower rating of 3, which could be a consideration for families with young children.
