418 san bernardino avenue

Sited on what many consider to be the very best block, on the very best street in all of Newport Heights, 418 San Bernardino is an exercise in thoughtful design & restraint. Located a short walk away from famed Cliff Drive Park, designed by Bill Guidero & built as a custom residence in 2014, this entirely single level home is a true one-of-one masterpiece that will likely never be replicated. Offering a landscape design by Molly Wood, entrants are greeted by a gated, hedged front entry with a seating area as well as a tranquil water feature. With a timeless blend of mid century modern and contemporary styling cues, this home offers its occupants flexible, easy living. The main home offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms as well as an office. Soaring fourteen foot ceilings of Douglas Fir with exposed beams allow for an abundance of light, cast across the main living space through its many windows. A fireplace crafted from Texas Limestone expands from floor to ceiling, where the kitchen, living room, and dining area are open to one another. The eyes are drawn an over an expanse of oak flooring towards a wall of sliding glass which pockets behind a stone frame and out to the pool and spa which offer an automatic cover. A fire feature offers seating at a concrete bench adjacent to an additional detached bedroom suite with full bath and a separate entrance which could accommodate guests, an office, or a fitness area. The primary suite offers soaring ceilings, a large pocketing glass slider which opens to the pool and spa. The bathroom features a large glass walk-in shower, dual vanities with countertops crafted of the natural stone London Fog, floor to ceiling architectural tile accent wall, a soaking tub, and large windows for natural light. Two additional bedrooms and two bathrooms complete the space. With easy access to Coast Highway, 17th/ Westcliff, Newport Harbor and the beach, 418 San Bernardino is the perfect home, in the perfect location. Every detail is thoughtful; and everything was thought of. This home is a showpiece in every sense of the word.
