28 Well Spring, Shady Canyon
Friday, February 19, 2010 at 11:29AM This custom estate residence fulfills the promise of Shady Canyon - offering a lifestyle of relaxed elegance in a beautifully scenic and serene setting. Nestled on a large lot with only one neighbor and bordered by a nature preserve, the home creates an ambiance evocative of the Italian countryside - with romantic Tuscan architecture and a floorplan designed for effortless indoor/outdoor living and entertaining in all seasons.
A secluded central courtyard with an inviting outdoor fireplace washes the interiors with natural light, and nearly every room opens to lovely gardens, sheltered loggias or the rear grounds. Adorned in the finest custom finishes of exotic artisan stonework, rich millwork and trompe l’oeil paint finishes, as well as Albertini doors and windows from Italy, the main level offers generously scaled rooms suited for casual everyday living or more formal entertaining, including living and dining rooms, a massive family room, and a large chef’s kitchen with catering/prep area and butler’s pantry. More private retreats on the main level of the residence include an executive office/study with fireplace, a secondary office, and a guest suite with private bath. The upper level of the home provides both idyllic hillside and canyon vistas and the ideal setting for a sumptuous master suite with expansive terrace, built-in desk, and relaxing sitting area with fireplace.
The opulent, Jerusalem Gold limestone-clad spa bath includes a large shower, deep-soaking jetted tub, dressing room, dual vanities and water closets and makeup vanity. An in-law suite also graces the upper level, with a private entrance, ensuite bath and pastoral views. The estate’s expansive grounds encompass a stunning entry garden with splashing fountain and mature olive and cypress trees, as well as generous grassy side yards, sheltered loggias, sun-drenched terraces, an outdoor kitchen, two outdoor fireplaces, a stone cabana hideway with bar and a putting green. Technology amenities include whole/house audiovisual systems and security system with alarm and cameras. A laundry room, large motorcourt with motorized entry gate and four-car finished garage with abundant built-in storage complete this magnificent Shady Canyon home.
