1220 w bay avenue

With its stunning waterfront views, impressive proportions, and curated selection of custom amenities, this newer (2023) contemporary showplace is among the finest residences in Newport Beach. Located on the Balboa Peninsula, the estate boasts nearly 100' of frontage along the Newport Channel, welcoming views of the water, passing yachts and sailboats, evening lights, Saddleback Mountain, Lido Isle and the towers of Newport Center and Fashion Island. Equally breathtaking, the home reflects the talents of architect Paul McClean, Gallo Builders and Lynda Murray Interior Design in an architecturally unparalleled collage of glass, marble, metal and wood. Italian veined white marble cladding and custom rain glass hint at the beauty that awaits beyond the entrance gate, where a garden complements a glass bridge that leads the way to a pivoting glass front door. Channel views are enjoyed from the moment the gate opens and continue throughout the three-level design, where six en suite bedrooms and seven-and-one-half-baths offer comfort for all in appx. 12,749 SF. Walls of glass and Sky-Frame slide-away glass doors pocket doors up to nearly 50' long create a seamless transition to outdoor areas including a lower-level pool, and a main-level bayfront terrace with kitchen and private dock for multiple vessels. Panoramic views overlook the ocean, harbor, mountains and coast from a massive rooftop patio that extends about 3,200 SF and hosts a second pool, and outdoor kitchen with grill, pizza oven and an island with seating for 10. A custom elevator joins a phenomenal spiral staircase with mirror-polished rails in offering access to all three levels of the residence. Discover a great room with see-through fireplace shared with the covered patio, a walk-in 750-bottle wine room, 192-bottle temperature-controlled wine wall, and a dining room that flows to top-tier front-and-back kitchens with Poliform Italian cabinetry and Miele, Sub-Zero and Liebherr appliances. The lower level reveals a lounge with bar, state-of-the-art theater with starry-night ceiling and concession stand, VR racing room, and fitness center with Rogue equipment and Pavi Gym rubber flooring from Spain. Your private wellness center presents a massage/meditation room, light-therapy room, steam shower and sauna. Unobstructed views enhance the top-floor’s primary suite and bath, featuring a large balcony and heated floors. Smart home tech and a four-car garage with single hydraulic door lend added cachet.
