A lavish Tuscan-style estate with a showcase 17-car garage in Irvine’s guard-gated Shady Canyon is on the market for $17.995 million.
The 17,246-square-foot residence sits near the end of a cul-de-sac street on more than three-quarters of an acre. Built in 2010, it has five bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and the aforementioned garage that features a work bay with a hydraulic lift, hobby and storage rooms, and a turntable for easy parking.
Luxe touches abound in this custom build whose “walled and gated grounds rivaling those in Beverly Hills, the Hamptons and beyond,” as the listing reads, include a saltwater pool, spa and open-air living room.
A large courtyard sits at the center of the house.
Handcrafted woodwork, marble floors and decorative ceilings add character to the home. Its formal foyer and gallery-style halls lead to big, open rooms across three levels accessible by elevator and staircase.
The main floor includes a formal dining room, a great room with a built-in entertainment center and an amenity-rich kitchen. According to the listing, the kitchen boasts an oversized island, a walk-in pantry, two butler’s pantries, a separate breakfast room, two built-in refrigerators, “a home-management center,” a built-in Meile coffee station, two farmhouse sinks, a Viking range and Thermador appliances.
There is not one but two primary suites, one on the main level and another on the top floor.
Elsewhere is a gym, game room and wine cellar.
An outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven, Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, stone countertops, an island and a wine cooler opens to the pool terrace.
Tim Smith of Coldwell Banker Realty holds the listing.
