Overlooking the rolling landscape of Shady Canyon, with golf course views woven in, this beautifully composed European-inspired residence pairs timeless architecture with the ease of California living. Its recently reimagined grounds create an especially memorable arrival, where mature olive trees, meandering gravel paths, sculpted Mediterranean plantings and warm stonework lend the property the character of an established Italian garden. Just beyond the entry, a direct sightline through the interiors reveals the vistas of Shady Canyon, a view that becomes an integral part of the residence throughout.
Designed to live predominantly as a single-level home, the 4 bedroom, 6 bath residence unfolds around a central courtyard that draws natural light into the interiors. Stone and wide-plank hardwood floors, hand-selected lighting and warm architectural details create an understated sophistication, while French doors and generous windows establish an effortless dialogue between the interiors, courtyard and surrounding gardens.
At the heart of the home, the great room features two disappearing walls of glass, creating a seamless connection to the courtyard and rear grounds. The adjoining kitchen is appointed with white countertops, marble backsplash, farmhouse sink, generous island, large pantry, and breakfast area. A gracious dining salon opens directly to the courtyard and fireplace, while a separate living and music room offers a more intimate setting.
The main level also encompasses the private primary suite with serene views, direct garden access, a spacious bath and dressing room, two additional bedroom suites, powder room, and laundry. The upper level is thoughtfully reserved for a substantial bonus room with balcony that accesses the rear yard, powder bath, private bedroom suite, and a handsome library-style office.
Outside, a pool and view-oriented spa anchor the grounds alongside a covered loggia, barbecue area with fireplace, and dining terrace. A bocce court brings an authentic Italian pastime to the side garden, a fitting complement to the home’s European character. A finished three-car garage with gated motor-court completes this exceptional Shady Canyon residence. Additionally, Shady Canyon offers two 24-hour guard gates, clubhouse, swim, Pickleball, tennis, hiking and biking trails, playground, and a world class private golf club.
