More Insights

Built in 1964 (61 years old).
Condition: Built in 1964, this property is meticulously maintained and move-in ready, benefiting from its prime waterfront location. However, the kitchen features outdated appliances (e.g., electric coil cooktop, fluorescent hood lighting) and traditional cabinetry, while the visible bathroom elements also appear dated in style. These areas, though functional and clean, suggest their last significant updates were likely 15-30 years ago, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria that indicate a well-maintained but aged home requiring minor updates for modernization.

About this home

Located within the prestigious coastal enclave of Dover Shores, this remarkable waterfront residence occupies a singular position along Newport Harbor. Boasting an expansive 79 feet of frontage on the bay—a rarity enjoyed by fewer than five percent of bay front properties in Newport Beach—this home offers a commanding perspective over a serene inlet, with sweeping views that extend to the iconic skyline of Fashion Island. Architecturally, the home exudes timeless European influence, while its interior orientation ensures that principal living spaces—including the formal living and dining rooms, kitchen, family room, breakfast area, and all bedrooms—are oriented to capture uninterrupted views of the bay. The floor plan is light, open, and intuitively designed, offering immediate comfort with the potential for thoughtful modernization. Upstairs, all bedrooms open to a private balcony, offering a privileged vantage point from which to enjoy the evolving panorama of views. Meticulously maintained and presented to the resale market for the very first time, the residence speaks to a legacy of pride in ownership and a rare quality of life found only in such an extraordinary setting. The private dock is designed to accommodate a substantial yacht, in addition to a secondary slip ideal for a Duffy or Boston Whaler—offering seamless access to the Back Bay, the open Pacific, and the vibrant harbor lifestyle that defines Newport Beach. Just steps from a gated, residents-only beach, this distinguished property offers a rare convergence of generous waterfront dimensions, premier moorage, expansive water views, and elegant outdoor living.
