Remarks and Miscellaneous

Public Remarks: Set on one of the largest lots in Shorewood Forest, this beautifully maintained home on Westchester Lane sits on nearly an acre of wooded surroundings, creating a quiet, tucked-away feel—yet just a short walk to the lake. Offering 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the layout includes a main-level primary suite and multiple living areas that provide flexibility for gathering or spreading out. The backyard is designed to be enjoyed, with an in-ground pool, Trex deck, firepit, and professional landscaping that gives it a polished, resort-like setting without feeling overdone. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated with a well-appointed kitchen, remodeled bathrooms, and rich Brazilian koa hardwood floors that bring warmth into the main living spaces. A large unfinished basement adds even more potential, with the space to be finished for related living, extended living areas, or a custom setup that fits your needs. In addition, there is an approximately 700 sq ft attic space—already roughed in for gas and electric—offering another opportunity to expand over time. Major updates including a newer roof, high-efficiency furnace, whole-house generator, and more reflect the level of care throughout. All of this, set within Shorewood Forest and the highly regarded, award-winning Wheeler school district, makes it easy to settle in now while still having room to grow over time.
