Dramatic Views

Positioned above the Village of Corona del Mar, this striking contemporary residence is newly constructed and designed around its dramatic ocean and Newport Harbor views.  Taking full advantage of the Southwestern facing parcel, the home is crafted for single-level simplicity.

Beyond the front door, the Golden Coast and Palos Verdes hover in the background, centrally appointed in the home. Dramatic views of Catalina Island, the beaches of Newport Peninsula, and city lights of Fashion Island are all framed by generous walls of glass, integrating indoor and outdoor living.

Light filters throughout the day, mindfully appointing and illuminating the thoughtful floorplan.  Conversations flow across the waterfall island to the living space beyond, creating gathering vignettes for entertaining.  Receive guests and family in the dining space adjoining the gracious living room, anchored by a linear fireplace encased in crisp marble. Clean white walls are spiked with hand-blown blue tiled backsplash defining a dry bar with refrigerated cabinetry.

The architecture is classic and structured to complement the clean design of the interior.  Slick white walls can host pieces of art or sculptures, secured by textures of soft French oak flooring. Guided by market vision, DeCarrier Design curated and sourced all materials for the home with handpicked tiles and countertops, harmonizing classic elements with modern materials to create delicate contrast. Down to the individually cut tile for the precise powder wall with framed mirror. 

The entire great room interacts with stunning ocean views beyond, framed by walls of glass that vanish to reveal the rear grounds.  A considerable seating and lounging terrace surround the glassy pool and spa.  Lush landscape runs alongside the glass wall providing color and texture that highlights the sparkling water.  Ideally positioned outside the kitchen, a BBQ island including a variety of cooking materials desired for entertaining.  Overhead heaters accomplish an optimal outdoor experience for those cool Southern California nights. 

The primary suite is a gracious sanctuary, embracing stunning views of the ocean and harbor, with entry via the private reading retreat.  The bathroom suite is articulate with dual vanities, a makeup vanity, large shower and tub, water closet, with a custom-built closet containing spacious storage.  Four large secondary bedroom suites flank the perimeter of the home; each bedroom is replete with large walk-in closets outfitted with built-in shelving and drawers, and a private bathroom.  The concluding touch for the home is a laundry/mud room, which serves as an entry off the oversized two-car garage with an electric car charger and smart home automation system.

This Harborview Hills location allows for a short walk to PCH, where local amenities are plenty and easily accessible. Conveniently access MacArthur, Marguerite or San Joaquin Road making this one of Corona del Mar’s most centrally located communities.
