Spanning 1,685 square feet with three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, this corner residence commands over 60 feet of direct beachfront living. Thoughtfully arranged for both daily living and effortless entertaining, the interiors feel open, airy, and welcoming, with natural light filling the spaces throughout. The layout creates comfortable separation between the main living areas and the upstairs accommodations, where peaceful ocean-view rooms provide inviting places to unwind, along with flexibility for guests, a home office, or evolving family needs. From your doorstep, the beach, harbor, and calm waters of the cove ideal for morning walks, paddleboarding, or sunset strolls. China Cove is an exclusive and highly desirable residential neighborhood and secluded beach area near the entrance to Newport Harbor. Known for its intimate community and panoramic harbor views, it offers a peaceful escape with direct beach access. Situated below Ocean Boulevard near the harbor entrance, the neighborhood blends charming vintage cottages with high-end custom homes, and properties here rarely become available. Just moments from the Village of Corona del Mar, where a walkable collection of restaurants, cafés, and boutiques capture the essence of coastal living. 2708 Shell is more than a residence; it is a generational opportunity to secure a front-row position in one of Corona del Mar’s most treasured waterfront settings — authentic, private, and truly irreplaceable.
