PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Great Schools

    Elementary School: Eastbluff Elementary School (9/10). High School: Corona Del Mar High School (9/10).

  • Prime Location & Lifestyle

    Situated in Newport Beach’s highly sought-after Dover Shores, this property offers unparalleled coastal convenience, being minutes from the Back Bay loop, pristine beaches, top-rated schools, and vibrant 17th Street dining.

  • Extensive Recent Upgrades & Smart Home Features

    The residence boasts thoughtful recent upgrades, including a redesigned kitchen, reimagined laundry room, reconfigured movie room, and retiled pool, complemented by modern smart home systems, zoned HVAC, Elan surround sound, EV charging, and security cameras, ensuring a move-in ready, technologically advanced living experience.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Age of Property

    Built in 1961, despite extensive modern upgrades, the underlying structure is over 60 years old, which may lead to specific maintenance considerations or concerns for some buyers regarding long-term structural integrity or unseen issues.

  • View Limitation

    The property offers a 'Neighborhood' view. While pleasant, it does not capitalize on the potential for more premium ocean, bay, or panoramic city views often highly valued and sought after in a luxury Newport Beach location.

  • Limited Traditional Green Space

    Given the 10,230 square foot lot and the extensive hardscaping dedicated to the pool, spa, and pickleball court, the property may offer less traditional green lawn or garden space compared to other luxury homes on larger lots, which some buyers might prefer.
