Design-Forward Living, All on One Level

From the moment you arrive, the home’s clean modern lines and custom pivot entry door set a refined tone. Inside, the layout opens effortlessly—every bedroom thoughtfully placed on the main level, creating an ideal flow for daily living and entertaining alike.

Natural light pours in through black-framed dual-pane windows and skylights, highlighting smooth drywall finishes, luxury flooring, and a neutral palette that feels both timeless and warm. The living area is anchored by a sculptural plaster fireplace that feels bespoke and intentional, flowing naturally into the dining space and chef’s kitchen.

The kitchen is a true centerpiece: quartzite countertops, a French-inspired range beneath a handcrafted hood, stainless appliances, abundant cabinetry, and a generous island built for conversation. A newly added mudroom and oversized pantry bring real-world functionality without sacrificing design.

The primary suite is a calm retreat with direct patio access and a spa-like bath featuring an oversized frameless shower with dual shower heads. A thoughtfully designed junior suite includes its own exterior entrance, sitting area, and pass-through bath—perfect for guests, extended family, or flexible live-work living. Every bathroom showcases custom tile work and tailored finishes that elevate the entire home.

Private Outdoor Spaces with Canyon Serenity

Outside, the property unfolds into a series of intimate outdoor rooms. French and sliding glass doors lead to a secluded courtyard and landscaped backyard, framed by ravine views and mature greenery. Synthetic turf, new concrete hardscape, and fenced side yards create effortless, low-maintenance spaces ideal for entertaining, quiet evenings, or weekend gatherings under the stars.

With nearly ⅓ of an acre, there’s room to dream—whether that’s future expansion, an ADU, or simply enjoying the luxury of space in a neighborhood where lot size matters.

Why Life in Cowan Heights & North Tustin Is Different

Homes on Shadyridge don’t come up often—and for good reason. Nestled within Cowan Heights, this pocket of North Tustin is prized for its custom homes, rolling terrain, and sense of quiet separation from the rest of Orange County.

Locals know that Cowan Heights offers something MLS descriptions can’t capture: cooler evening breezes, darker night skies, and a true neighborhood identity rooted in architecture and land. Just minutes away, residents enjoy trail access and outdoor escapes at Santiago Canyon and Irvine Lake, while still being close to everyday conveniences.

Families value the home’s placement within the Tustin Unified School District, including Arroyo Elementary, Hewes Middle, and Foothill High School—schools long associated with strong community ties and stability.

Market Scarcity & Long-Term Value

Single-story, fully renovated homes on oversized lots in Cowan Heights are increasingly rare. With limited inventory, strict zoning, and a neighborhood defined by custom architecture rather than tract turnover, properties like this tend to hold value exceptionally well. Replacement cost alone makes opportunities like 10461 Shadyridge difficult to replicate, positioning this home as both a lifestyle upgrade and a smart long-term investment.
