Commanding a premier lot adjacent to Cliff Haven and Newport Heights, 701 Kings Road offers sweeping panoramic coastal views of Newport Harbor, Lido Isle, the Pacific Ocean and beyond. Encompassing approximately 4,264 square feet of living space on an expansive 10,220 square foot lot, this three-level coastal residence is defined by its scale, privacy, and exceptional vantage point. The main living level is designed for both grand entertaining and everyday living, featuring soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and walls of glass that frame the panoramic coastline. Living and dining areas open seamlessly to an expansive view deck, creating a true indoor-outdoor experience set against a striking coastal backdrop. The kitchen is thoughtfully positioned, appointed with a large island, custom cabinetry, and a sunlit breakfast area — all oriented to capture the views. Occupying the entire upper level, the primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a fireplace, dramatic picture windows, and sweeping ocean and harbor vistas. A spacious en-suite bath and oversized walk-in closet further elevate the space. Two additional bedrooms are situated on the lower level, offering privacy and flexibility for guests, office space, or additional living. The grounds are equally compelling, featuring an expansive brick terrace with spa, multiple lounge areas, and a rare, usable lower yard with mature landscaping and a private putting green, an ideal balance of outdoor living and scenic outlook. Extensively rebuilt in 1990, the home was thoughtfully expanded to include the third-level primary suite, along with the installation of engineered caisson foundations anchored to bedrock, enhancing long-term structural integrity. Plans and engineering specifications are available upon request. An oversize 2 car garage with work area and an additional 1.5 car garage provide ample parking and storage. Ideally located in Newport Heights, the home offers easy access to 17th Street, Newport Harbor, and world-class beaches, combining panoramic views with a desirable interior along Kings Road, one of Newport Beach’s most coveted streets.
