Luxury, timeless style
and extra space inside and out enhance
custom estate at top of Shady Canyon. The emotional journey begins as you approach 50 Blue Heron, crowning one of the best streets in Irvine’s renowned guard-gated community of Shady Canyon. Exquisite and mature landscaping enriches a long, circular drive and a tranquil courtyard fountain sets the scene for relaxed and stylish living. Soft color themes, 100 year old antique beams, and enchanting Tuscan Farmhouse architecture showcasing the talents of Fari International create an estate of timeless appeal. Fari also designed all of the furnishings, which are included with the purchase of the home.
Generously proportioned at approximately 11,000 square feet, the three-story estate feels like a single-level design, with the main floor featuring a children’s wing with four bedroom suites and lounge, and a master wing at the opposite end of the design. A total of eight bedrooms and 10 baths are featured, in addition to a motor court with garage parking for five, covered parking, and a half-basketball court. An elevator leads passengers down to the entertainment level, complete with 18-seat home theater, game room, wine cellar, gym with sauna and steam shower, lounge with wet bar, private “secret garden” outdoor oasis with spa and fountain, and maid’s suite. On the third floor, the elevator and a graceful staircase
lead to a home office, full bar and billiards room, outdoor loggia and a viewing tower.
Two islands – one for dining, one for food preparation – are showcased in the large kitchen and family area, which displays dual dishwashers, dual built-in refrigerators, Thermador appliances, a warming drawer, and built-in refrigerator drawers. An adjacent service room has rear access to a separate Viking outdoor grill for catering. And home office completes this main living area.
Barrel, grass cloth and cross-loin ceilings add extra distinction throughout the home.
Additional custom refinements are led by solid-core stained wood doors; central systems for vacuum, security, stereo, intercom and telecommunications; polished stone flooring and rich wood flooring (per location); numerous flat-screen high-definition televisions; flush-mount built-in cabinetry; limestone counters in bathrooms; arched windows; private balconies and patios; and a large covered loggia off of the family and kitchen area with wood-burning fireplace.
Sequestered on one of only five double homesites in all of Shady Canyon, the expansive estate enjoys approximately two acres of gorgeous and private grounds with a terraced great lawn, olive vineyards, orchard with variety of fruit trees, and an amphitheater, all enhanced by canyon, city, golf course and mountain views that shimmer with lights after sunset. A full casita offers views of the pool, spa, outdoor fireplace, and built-in barbecue. Every detail is custom-crafted to create an ambiance of casually luxurious style – style that continues to outdoor living spaces as well.
This home is offered at $17,750,000. For more information, call Teles Properties’ Pegi DiRienzo at 949.230.4663 or via email at pegi.dirienzo@telesproperties.com.
