Property Description
Imagine starting your evening enjoying a swim in an in-ground spa, letting the wave maker carry the stress away. Then head inside and sweat it out in a traditional Swiss stone pine sauna, its natural wood releasing a calm, grounding scent. Rinse off in the steam shower, letting the warmth hydrate your skin and ease your muscles. Wrap yourself in your favorite robe, pull a bottle from your personal wine cellar, and settle into your private home theater for the rest of the evening. This is not a resort. This is 30 Exploration. Discover this stunning castle-architectural Plan 3M home in the prestigious Serra community of Portola Springs, Irvine. Enter through the custom Mediterranean private gate. A first level Casita is complete with a built-in Switzerland traditional sauna, steam shower, and Murphy bed. Past the foyer, a grand staircase with classic iron balusters greets you beneath soaring ceilings, where a candlelight chandelier hangs and tall windows fill the space with light. The main living spaces encircle a central courtyard, where French glass doors and windows invite natural light in. The living room features a fireplace, wood beams, and flows seamlessly into the kitchen though a castle-style stone arch. The Chef’s kitchen is appointed with an 8-burner gas range, double ovens, a warming drawer, and an abundance of newly upgraded white cabinetry. A wine cellar, formal dining room, dedicated office, and spacious family room with fireplace round out the main level. The floor plan was thoughtfully created for both separation & integration, indoor & outdoor flow. A home where you can have the best of both worlds. Upstairs, a private home theater awaits you, complete with a projector and screen. The primary suite is a sanctuary of its own, with French doors opening to a private spacious balcony, a double vanity, a center soaking tub by a window, a standing shower, and a walk-in closet with a center island and custom cabinetry.
