A true stand-out along Southern California’s world-famous coastline, this extraordinary waterfront estate is set directly on a rocky bluff overlooking Newport Bay in China Cove. Views are incomparable by day or night, with colorful sailboats and magnificent yachts gliding along the main channel in the foreground, festive holiday boat parades in December, and the Pacific Ocean, Balboa Peninsula, amazing sunsets and evening lights providing a kaleidoscopic backdrop for refined luxury living in Corona del Mar. Located on Shell Street, one of the most exclusive addresses in the region, this exquisitely crafted New England-inspired masterpiece takes full advantage of its setting with a massive stone terrace that complements every occasion with stunning views, a custom built-in BBQ and the soothing sounds of the bay lapping at the rocks below. Centered around a sweeping multi-level floating spiral staircase, the opulent residence measures approximately 4,040 square feet and hosts four bedrooms and four- and one-half baths. The main level showcases a fireplace-warmed den with handsome wood paneling, built-in media, a two-story ceiling and a 160-bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar. Memorable entertaining is easy in formal and casual living areas that are richly detailed with wood and brick floors, custom crown molding, custom marble finishes, tray and barrel ceilings, extensive built-ins, handcrafted millwork, custom window treatments and stylish lighting fixtures. A fully appointed chef’s kitchen exhibits a large island, white cabinetry, stone countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances including built-in beverage coolers. Equally impressive, the top-level primary suite features a large bay window, two sitting areas, a view balcony, boutique-style walk-in closet, and an opulent ensuite bath. Curb appeal is unmatched, with classic seaside architecture enhancing a column-lined covered entry porch, handsome brickwork and access to a subterranean garage. Limited to just a few stunning residences, Shell Street is close to Corona del Mar’s main beach, village shops and restaurants, golf at Pelican Hill and high-end shopping at Fashion Island. Outstanding schools serve the community, and miles of beaches and gorgeous coves extend to the north and south.
