Jacqueline Thompson Momentum Continues As She Sells Shady Canyon Estate for Nearly $6 Million

Jacqueline Thompson does it again, selling the private estate located at 25 Watercress in the exclusive community of Shady Canyon for nearly $6 million, bringing her year-to-date sales to over $70 million. Thompson represented the buyer in this transaction who was already a resident of Shady Canyon and wanted to stay within the community. They identified Thompson as their agent of choice for both the sale of their home and the purchase of 25 Watercress.

This gorgeous French-inspired property is settled on a nearly 34,630 square foot secluded lot. A custom-built five bedroom, five-and-one-half bathroom home with wall-to-wall French doors providing an abundance of natural light and the utmost privacy. The property boasts exquisite grounds featuring fruit trees, a raised bed vegetable garden, and endless canyon vistas. Inside, the gourmet kitchen is equipped with a Lacanche French range, double dishwashers, and refrigerated beverage drawers. It also includes a sizable center island and opens to the family room, creating a seamlessly connected entertainment space. Upstairs, the luxurious master suite features a retreat area, spa-like bathroom with Brazilian marble throughout, a large walk-in closet, and balcony with picturesque views. The tower bonus room can function as your private exercise room, home theater/screening room, or personal office. State-of-the-art Crestron home automation system provides indoor and outdoor surround sound controls at the touch of your fingertips. The outdoor dining pavilion incorporates a television, fireplace, built-in barbecue, and refrigerator creating the ultimate outdoor entertaining area. Additional amenities include a whole house water softening and purification system, motorized chandelier lift, Vantage lighting system, and walk-in wine cellar.

Just one month prior to the sale of 25 Watercress, Jacqueline Thompson sold the home next door 27 Watercress after being on the market for only one week.
