Ideally positioned on the coveted Peninsula Point, this exceptional bayfront home offers 45 feet of frontage on Newport Harbor and 4477 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, complemented by a three-car garage. A private, lushly landscaped entry courtyard with a tranquil water feature creates a warm and inviting first impression. Refined finishes throughout include hardwood flooring, natural stone, granite, and designer tile selections from Walker Zanger and Ann Sacks. Designed for both effortless living and entertaining, the chef’s kitchen opens seamlessly to the expansive great room and is appointed with Viking appliances and a spacious walk-in pantry. The home features five bedrooms, each with their own bath, a desirable main-level guest suite, as well as a dedicated media room. The luxurious primary suite offers glorious bay views, a private office, fireplace, spa-inspired bath, and dual walk-in closets. Capturing sweeping views of Newport Harbor and the vibrant yachting activity near the harbor entrance, the bayfront terrace and private pier provide an exceptional setting for waterfront entertaining, dining al fresco, or simply enjoying the coastal lifestyle. The private dock, rebuilt in July 2025, will accommodate multiple vessels.
