Description

Representing an increasingly rare opportunity along the shores of Newport Harbor in Newport Beach, this French-inspired Hollywood Regency bay front estate reflects a remarkable level of scale, presence, and architectural distinction — qualities seldom found in today’s coastal market. Set on an expansive 55' W, 10,752 SFT parcel, the home is thoughtfully positioned just beyond the neighboring residence to capture both expansive front-facing harbor views and sweeping corner vistas toward the harbor entrance and the sparkling lights of Corona del Mar. While visually compelling it is the rarity of the home’s defining qualities that truly set it apart. Opportunities that unite substantial lot width with premier dock capacity on Newport Harbor are exceptionally rare. The private dock, affording a yacht accommodation for an 85-foot craft and complemented by two side ties, delivers a configuration rarely found and ideal for those seeking the ultimate Newport Beach waterfront lifestyle with direct harbor access. A sense of arrival unfolds through lush, curated gardens and a tranquil interior courtyard, creating a private and serene transition into the home. Just beyond, a charming guest house positioned off the courtyard offers a welcoming retreat, complete with a separate living room anchored by an antique French limestone fireplace, lending ambience and character. Inside the main residence timeless European influence meets refined craftsmanship, where thoughtful detailing and custom finishes are evident throughout. The country French kitchen, grounded by antique brick herringbone floors, brings warmth and authenticity, while custom bronze windows and doors frame the interiors with understated elegance and natural light. Designed to embrace its extraordinary setting, the home’s grand-scale waterfront living spaces open seamlessly to lavender-infused gardens, terraces, and a generous grassy lawn at the water’s edge - an ideal backdrop for al fresco dining, entertaining, and enjoying life on the harbor. Whether hosting sunset gatherings or setting out from your dock for a day on the water, the connection between home and harbor feels seamless and fluid. With its irreplaceable location, architectural integrity, and rare combination of lot size and yacht accommodation, this offering stands apart as a true legacy bay front estate in Newport Beach -where scale, privacy, and lifestyle converge in a way that is unlikely to be replicated.
