Description

Homes along the harbor in Corona del Mar are few in number and rarely come to market. They do, though, enjoy water and sunset views unequalled on this harbor. From the channel entrance to the Balboa Pavilion, boats glide across the harbor throughout the day providing ever-changing views. In the evenings, the city lights reflect across the harbor shimmering and electrifying the nighttime vistas. This home is as extraordinary as the views. Set back from the street behind its own private gate and motor court, the classic contemporary design has a distinguished resort ambiance. Walls of impeccably laid stone are complemented by hand-finished mahogany and other select materials. Two story ceilings, an open plan, and expansive harbor views make the interior setting at one with the location. Recently updated, the home exudes a contemporary flair that is current but neither cold nor austere. Rather, it is evident throughout this is an understated home weighted with quality. The oversized parcel features fifty-three feet on the harbor and nearly two-hundred feet of depth. Highlights of the property include an oversized waterfront terrace with sitting areas and an infinity pool at the water’s edge; a full-floor primary suite with bed and sitting rooms, a relaxing lounge, waterfront terrace, a properly fitted dressing area, a capacious spa-like bath, private laundry, and water views through floor-to-ceiling windows; spacious public rooms overlooking the water, all opening to the out-of-doors through walls of retractable glass; a handsome and sumptuous private study with over height ceilings (which is easily convertible to a fourth bedroom), walls of bookcases, and a fireplace; two additional restyled bedrooms suites with new baths; and a private boat dock with room for a sizable yacht. Living along the water has never been as appealing as it is in this home, in this setting, and with these views. This is a unique opportunity, as homes with all these attributes in this prime location on the harbor are rarely offered for sale.
