    What's special

    Experience the epitome of old-world charm with the convenience of luxury modern-day living in this beautifully appointed and recently remodeled Spanish Revival villa. Nestled atop a large private lot with resort-like grounds, the home is located in the prestigious Villa Sycamore neighborhood of the exclusive gated community of Shady Canyon that features 16,000 acres of preserved rolling hills that cocoon the area from the outside world. Feel welcomed through the glazed Spanish tile and wrought-iron arched entry gate into the gorgeous front courtyard complete with a serene outdoor fountain. The open living/dining room in the center of the home showcases a double-height vaulted ceiling with exposed wood beams, a stunning fireplace and rows of French doors lining both sides of the room, providing a seamless transition between indoor/outdoor living. The spacious large yard that surrounds the entire estate includes multiple outdoor living areas with exterior fireplaces, a highly upgraded covered patio, outdoor televisions and lighting, a sparkling pool with elegant waterfall features, and a custom covered outdoor kitchen. Inside, the updated chef’s kitchen includes new state-of-the-art appliances including a built-in SubZero fridge, with additional fridge and freezer drawers in the butler’s pantry, a Wolf steam oven, and custom BlueStar commercial gas range/oven. An attached breakfast room and family room connected to the kitchen creates the perfect floor plan for both entertaining and everyday living. The oversized primary suite is replete with a new built-in desk space, remote controlled fireplace, upholstered walls, a massive walk-in closet and a completely rebuilt luxurious spa-like bathroom with dual vanity sinks, radiant heated flooring, antique glass wall, and a built-in sauna. The additional four bedrooms with remodeled ensuite bathrooms complete the estate, including a private casita which can be used as either a fifth bedroom or office. Additional amenities and new upgrades include a 500-bottle temperature controlled wine cellar, new plumbing, limestone flooring, owned solar panels and house battery, a whole house water softener and filtration system, security cameras and video storage system, and indoor/outdoor Sonos speakers. A truly timeless property fit for even the most discerning of occupants.
