Description

From its hillside setting in Corona del Mar’s coveted Harbor View Hills enclave, this masterfully remodeled and upgraded custom home welcomes panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Newport Harbor, Catalina Island, magnificent sunsets, evening lights and the glimmering office towers of Newport Center. Embraced by custom gates and mature hedges, the residence’s expansive homesite offers enviable privacy while still allowing ocean views from a fully reimagined front yard. Terraced grounds reveal a main-level patio with bubbling fountains, a wet bar and open-air fireplace, and a street-level driveway with parking for two. Living walls, wood and stone architectural elements, and manicured landscaping enhance the ambiance, making the entire space ideal for memorable entertaining. Custom glass and steel entry doors lead to a wide-open floorplan of approximately 3,402 square feet that features three bedrooms and three baths. Living spaces flow freely from one to the other, including a living room with glass pocket doors opening to the view- enriched patio, a formal dining room with a picture window that frames an exterior wall fountain, and a massive family room with custom walk-in wet bar and illuminated built-in shelving. At the center of it all is an incredible chef’s kitchen with two islands–one for entertaining and serving, the other for food prep, custom white cabinetry with glass uppers, brilliant skylights, a casual dining area opening to the family room, and top-of-the-line dark-stainless appliances including two dishwashers. A home office features two built-in desks, and a custom gym opens to the front yard with a roll-up door. Wide-plank wood flooring, polished stone and wood-slat wall finishes, automatic window shades, security cameras, exquisite contemporary lighting fixtures, and a steam shower in a guest bath adds to the home’s allure. Opening to the backyard, the primary suite is a private sanctuary complete with LED mirrors, stone countertops, a freestanding tub and a multi-head steam shower. Virtually all new, the backyard is primed for entertaining with an infinity-edge pool and spa, custom fire feature, and a built-in BBQ bar. Harbor View Hills is directly across the street from Fashion Island’s high-end shops, restaurants and theaters. Golf resorts, beaches and award-winning schools are close by, and Newport Coast, Crystal Cove and Laguna Beach are moments down the highway.
