Is it really possible to have everything you’ve dreamed of in a home? It is as this elegant custom estate directly on the sand along Newport Beach’s coveted Balboa Peninsula, where phenomenal Pacific Ocean, whitewater, channel, sunset and Catalina Island views are enjoyed from each level. Overlooking The Wedge, Orange County’s legendary surf destination, and just three homes from the entrance to Newport Harbor, this European-style villa is located beyond the sand dunes and boardwalk, allowing ocean views and exceptional privacy on the first floor. For the ultimate vantage point, relax and entertain on the home’s rooftop patio, where magnificent views in every direction encompass the ocean, city lights, Fashion Island, the coast and mountains. Equally impressive, exquisite interior spaces reveal handcrafted finishes and fixtures that complement an open floorplan of approximately 4,212 square feet. Enjoy five ensuite bedrooms including a main-floor suite, five- and one-half baths, a private side entrance with grand semi-circular staircase, a formal dining room, fireplace-warmed living room, and a spacious family room with built-in entertainment center and direct access to an on-the-sand stone patio with built-in BBQ. Timeless in style, the chef-worthy kitchen showcases custom white cabinetry with glass uppers, polished granite countertops, an island with matte stone top and prep sink, and a butler’s pantry. Clerestory windows, a breakfast bar and a farmhouse sink are joined by a massive Wolf range with custom hood and pot-filler, and a cabinet- matched built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator. Spanning the width of the residence, the opulent primary suite invites unsurpassed ocean views into a private sanctuary where vaulted open-beam ceilings harmonize with a sitting room and fireplace. Two baths, each with its own shower, two walk-in closets, and a jetted tub ensure the ultimate in personal comfort. Rich details include hand-hewn wood beams, travertine flooring on the first level, hardwood flooring upstairs, crown molding, plantation shutters, wood doors and windows, whole- house audio, an attached three-car garage, exterior stone accents and an authentic clay-tile roof. A mere 100 yards from West Jetty View Park, this lux home is close to high-end shopping, preferred dining, John Wayne Airport, award-winning public and private schools, and Balboa’s famous Fun Zone and pier. |
