Nestled along one of the most cherished streets in Peninsula Point, Newport Beach, this quintessential coastal cottage captures the timeless character and enduring charm that have made this coveted enclave at the tip of Balboa Peninsula one of Southern California's most beloved beach communities. Evoking the spirit of Peninsula Point's early beach cottages, the residence has been lovingly preserved and thoughtfully enhanced over the years, creating a home that feels both timeless and inviting. Behind a cheerful brick patio framed by roses and hydrangeas, the home welcomes with warmth, authenticity, and an unmistakable sense of place.
