Property Description
Tucked inside the exclusive 24-hour guard-gated enclave of Shady Canyon, this beautifully crafted estate offers timeless architecture, serene privacy, and sweeping hillside and cityscape views. Set on an expansive 24,000+ sq ft corner lot, the home spans approximately 6,511 sq ft with 4 ensuite bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a dedicated office, an upper-level loft and dual laundry rooms.
A gated entry courtyard with a stone fountain and outdoor fireplace welcomes you into a refined yet relaxed flow of space. Inside, custom ironwork, arched passages, and high beamed ceilings anchor the Mediterranean style, while oversized French doors open the home to multiple outdoor terraces and a sunlit central courtyard.
The main level hosts two guest bedroom suites, a stately office, and elegant entertaining spaces. The formal living/dining area is framed by a statement fireplace and opens toward a custom wine cellar and a chef's kitchen featuring oversized center island, Thermador appliances, double dishwashers, prep pantry, and breakfast area that connects to the generous family room with another fireplace.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers its own fireplace, dual balconies with expansive views, a private retreat/lounge area, and a spa-like bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, steam shower, and a walk-in closet with center island. A second laundry room is located within the suite, complementing the oversized main laundry room downstairs.
Other highlights include:
- Motorized 4-car garage with private gated driveway
- Multiple outdoor dining and lounge patios
- Sparkling pool and spa with raised stone wall and water features
- Custom lighting, stonework, and hand-selected finishes throughout
All nestled in one of Irvine's most prestigious guard-gated communities, moments from hiking trails, golf, and award-winning schools.
