A private respite within one of Corona del Mar’s most established enclaves. Set on a generous corner parcel, the over-11,300-square-foot property affords a retreat-like environment. Designed as a series of interconnected spaces that capture natural light and the serene ambiance of its surrounding gardens, the residence offers accommodating elements to enjoy the coastal setting, everyday moments, and elevated entertaining. The thoughtful floorplan is both functional and expansive – balancing volume with comfortable elegance throughout the main dwellings, primary suite, and ancillary bedrooms or work spaces (4th bedroom currently being used as office). A collection of amenities, fine finishes, and features enhances the living experience – including an abundance of windows, walls of glass, and glass doors – with an entry resplendent in artisan glass; a 700-bottle walk-in wine cellar; rich hardwoods and rare stones, custom millwork, and multiple fireplaces. Extending the livable footprint – a verdant exterior with lush lawns, plantings, and stone hardscape presents multiple areas for gathering and relaxation, encompassing a gated, atrium-like courtyard with mature trees; a covered lounge with a fireplace and integrated heating and media; a built-in barbeque, and a stone-clad water feature spa. Within close proximity to the region’s sought-after beaches, the Newport Harbor, dining, shopping, and resources – the property’s optimal location offers the benefits of limitless lifestyle opportunities.
