1523 DOLPHIN TERRACE | CORONA DEL MAR
























THE PROPERTY
Occupying the premier bluff front view location in all of Corona del Mar, this pristine single-story contemporary residence features walls of glass overlooking Newport Harbor, the channel entrance, Catalina Island, and sunsets. Completed in recent years, this home is offered in impeccable, turn-key condition. An astounding architectural masterpiece, the notable scale and design of the residence have made it a landmark on the coast. No better view can be found in Corona del Mar than at this site. The uniquely arcing bluff top contour separates the property from its adjoining neighbors creating uncommon privacy, while also opening the site to expansive and panoramic views. A generously proportioned open plan with over-height ceilings is complemented by the finest building materials, including select limestone walls and floors, exotic teak, walnut and mahogany millwork, imported marbles, and floor-to-ceiling custom bronze doors and windows. Relaxed, open, and light, the home is exceedingly comfortable and livable. The entry opens to a great room with sizable living and dining areas, as well as an open, sea-view kitchen with a butler’s pantry. A broad, seaside view terrace runs the length of the home. It includes a covered and heated dining terrace, a full sun area, as well as a lap pool and spa. Every detail of the architecture was given great consideration as evidenced by the cascading, elliptical limestone steps that parallel the pool and transition the terrace directly into the water. This terrace is a most pleasant area, bathed in westerly sun and fresh ocean breezes. It is also very functional, as it seamlessly expands the interiors of the home to the out of doors. The terraced gardens below are covered in roses, Jacaranda, citrus, and Melaleuca. The delightful master suite is private and removed from the public areas of the home. It features more of the exquisite materials, including curvilinear walls carefully paneled with select walnut. It has restful views of the garden courtyard, carefully planted with manicured specimen trees. A handsome and private den includes magnificently figured teak millwork and built-ins, while also opening to the harbor views. The composition of the home creates an ambiance of quality and substance, while also being immediately relaxing and restful. The near-perfect execution of the design is visible throughout the home. During the day, the coastal views are an inseparable part of the living experience found here. In the evenings, the coastline and harbor are alight with dazzling city lights. Located in Irvine Terrace, the location is central Newport Beach’s most desirable amenities. It is within easy walking distance to the harbor, shops, dining, and numerous other recreational areas, while only being a few blocks from Newport Center and Fashion Island.
