Los Lagos is an extremely prestigious, gated, luxury community located in Granite Bay in the southeast portion of Placer County. Consisting of over 275 lots, some of which are still undeveloped, Los Lagos boasts home values from the high $600,000's to over $3 million. Currently there are only 7 homes for sale ranging from $680,950 to $1,979,000. In 2011, there were 17 open market sales, ranging in price from $710,000 to $2.2 million. This elegant community also boasts sports stars and Hollywood celebrities as current and past owners. Located approximately 20 minutes east of I-80 in Granite Bay, Los Lagos offers a unique opportunity for the discerning buyer.
Built in 1998, and featuring 7,298 square feet of luxurious sophistication, 8915 Los Posas Ct was truly a pleasure to experience. Similar to other homes I've seen in Clos du Lac, Granite Bay Hills, and on Barton Road, this estate has a wonderful feeling of understated elegance. This gorgeous high end home boasts 5 bedrooms, 4 full and 2 half bathrooms, and a back yard perfect for even the most selective entertainer. Some small updates would truly make this home shine. Since this home is almost 15 years old, the hardware, fixtures, and some of the basic carpentry definitely need to be updated. However, that being said, the amenities, design, and attention to detail are truly timeless. The floor plan is open, flows well, and allows natural lighting. In my personal taste, I would remodel the wet bar area to include a temperature controlled wine storage area.
The curb appeal is excellent here. The home is located in a court, and set back from the street with a circular driveway, and garages located out of view to the side. A high arched entry with large, open windows greets you as you cross the threshold.
The entry includes a sweeping staircase to the second level, and the chandelier lowers for easy cleaning and bulb replacement. The custom iron railing, and the beautiful travertine floors sweep you into a world of true luxury.
The living room is light and airy, and affords a sense of relaxation and opulence. Attention to detail in the craftsmanship, and the hand crafted wainscot finish the room nicely. Dual french doors showcase beautiful views of the rear yard, and a gorgeous fireplace adds sensation of formality.
Moving to the kitchen, the indirect lighting, crown molding, high end appliances, rich travertine floors, and the open feel immediately command attention. Again, views of the rear yard and pool are present in the kitchen, thanks to several bright windows. Boasting a Sub Zero refrigerator, Thermador oven, Viking cook top, and two Bosch dishwashers, it becomes apparent that no expense was spared.
The family room is warm and inviting, featuring rich wood paneling, coffered ceilings, and a $25k surround sound/lighting system wired throughout the home and rear yard.
Located on the main floor, the master bedroom features a dual-sided fireplace, and indirect lighting. Spacious, and complimented by an ample walk in closet, the master suite is a retreat by itself.
The master bathroom is a showcase of true elegance. Relax in the jetted tub while the fireplace warms the room. The master bath features luxurious Jack & Jill vanities, and a gorgeous shower with dual shower heads.
Moving to the rear yard, the entertainment potential is readily apparent. Boasting an outdoor kitchen, cascading pool, spa, and surrounded by beautiful limestone hardscapes. Accent lighting, and all weather speakers complete the park like atmosphere, and invite relaxation.
In conclusion, this is a very fine high end home, worthy of a commanding price, and the most demanding buyer. The yard is quiet, and well designed with tiers and sufficient space to entertain. The mature trees add a relaxing feeling of privacy. The 5 car garage provides plenty of space, and includes a small workshop area.
The home does need some updating, and very minor cosmetic repairs, which is somewhat expected in a 14 year old home. Overall it has been well maintained, and is ready for new ownership. At a current list price of $1,890,000 I expect this estate still has some time on the market. If the home were completely up to date, and required no repairs, it may reach full asking price. This is a challenging market, and many million dollar homes require an extended sales period. I expect this home to move once it reaches a price closer to $1.75 million.
