801 Kings Road presents an extraordinary opportunity for discerning buyers. Let’s delve into the details of this remarkable property: • Location and Views: Situated atop Newport Beach’s premier address, this property boasts 70 feet of front-row width and an expansive 11,690-square-foot lot. The views are nothing short of WOW - breathtaking, encompassing Newport Harbor, the Pacific Ocean, and beyond—from Dana Point to Catalina Island and the Palos Verdes Peninsula. • Existing Home: The current residence, a 1953 vintage home, spans 1,329 square feet and features 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. However, the true allure lies in the potential to replace it with your dream residence. • Dream Residence: Picture a new home with disappearing walls of glass, allowing you to immerse yourself in the magnificent vistas from every room. Imagine waking up to the sun rising over the ocean or savoring sunsets that paint the sky in hues of orange and pink. • Outdoor Living: Enhance your lifestyle with a magical outdoor living space. The veranda overlooks the gently sloping lot, inviting you to create your own oasis. Consider adding a pool, a spa, a pickleball court, and a lanai—all seamlessly integrated into your dream home. • Prime Location: This property is conveniently located near world-class amenities, including shopping, fine dining, sandy beaches, Newport Harbor, The Back Bay, freeway access, and John Wayne Airport. It truly invites you to experience the finest of Newport Beach living. • Unique Opportunity: Notably, this is the only vintage, original residence currently available on the south side of Kings Road. Such opportunities are rare and unlikely to be replicated anytime soon. • Unobstructed Bay View: Additionally, this property is the only one on Kings Road that offers a direct, unobstructed nearby view of the bay through the BBC parking lot view corridor. • Buildable Area: The lot features a relatively shallow grade but an enormous buildable area, allowing you to create your architectural masterpiece. In summary, 801 Kings Road presents a canvas for your imagination—a place where dreams can take shape against a backdrop of unparalleled natural beauty and coastal elegance.
