Amidst majestic mature trees, this 5 bedroom, 5 and a half bath home presides on expansive grounds – from the picturesque courtyard, to an oversized barbecue area and seating around the large-scale fireplace, to the gracious pool for carefree days and lawns so sprawling that they feel infinite – all with stunning vistas of the Shady Canyon boulder that is the street’s namesake – the Golden Eagle. Upon entering, luxe living begins in the great reception room, a high-ceilinged space that feels casually serene during the day, yet glamorous at night - and adjacent, the dining hall - both showcasing the incredible interior architecture which offers a traveled perspective with art-quality finishes and intricate wood design adorning each space.
