With commanding waterfront views, impressive scale, and a meticulously curated selection of amenities and finishes, this nearly new contemporary estate stands among the most exceptional residences on Newport Beach’s Balboa Peninsula. Completed in 2023, the home is the result of an award-winning collaboration between architect Paul McClean, Gallo Builders of Laguna Beach, and Lynda Murray Interior Design, creating an six-bedroom, eight-bath residence spanning more than 12,749 square feet across three levels.
Seamless indoor–outdoor living defines the architecture. Floor-to-ceiling walls of glass and imported Swiss Sky-Frame slide-away pocket doors dissolve the boundary between interior spaces and the outdoors, while a refined palette of marble, metal, and wood continues throughout. The entry garden reveals the home’s dramatic multi-level design, highlighted by a striking glass bridge overlooking the pool below and allowing natural light to filter into the lower living spaces while maintaining exceptional privacy.
The expansive bayfront terrace offers nearly 100 feet of frontage along the water and includes a private dock for multiple vessels. Designed for entertaining, the outdoor living space features an island with Kalamazoo grill, integrated TV lift, sunken seating area with open-air fireplace, spa, and full landscape audio system, all set beneath the architectural overhang of the home and connected to the great room by a see-through fireplace.
Inside, panoramic views extend from Newport Harbor and Lido Isle to Saddleback Mountain and the towers of Newport Center and Fashion Island. A dramatic floating spiral staircase with porcelain treads and mirror-polished rails anchors the residence, centered around a multi-pendant chandelier by Alison Berger, while a private elevator provides access to all three levels. The great room opens to the terrace through a nearly 50-foot pocket door and is complemented by a walk-in 750-bottle wine room and a 192-bottle temperature-controlled wine wall.
The kitchen showcases Antolini porcelain countertops, custom high-gloss frameless Poliform Italian cabinetry, Dornbracht fixtures, and a striking double-waterfall island with seating for six. Professional-grade appliances from Miele, Sub-Zero, and Liebherr are complemented by both front and back kitchens designed for effortless entertaining.
The lower level is dedicated to leisure and wellness, opening to the pool and entry bridge above. Amenities include a lounge with bar clad in backlit stone, a dedicated virtual racing room, and a private theater featuring terraced power-reclining seating, star-lit ceiling, Kaleidescape digital movie system, and Stewart Filmscreen with adaptable aspect ratio. A fully equipped fitness center with Rogue equipment is joined by a private wellness suite with massage and meditation room, steam shower, light-therapy table, towel-warming drawers, and a sauna with SaunaLogic controls and Pavi Gym rubber flooring imported from Spain.
Six en suite bedrooms provide luxurious accommodations, including a spectacular top-level primary suite with unobstructed bay and city-light views from a long private balcony overlooking the terrace and dock. The suite features disappearing glass doors, a linear fireplace, a spa-inspired bath with freestanding tub, radiant heated flooring, large walk-in shower, and a boutique-style walk-in closet with illuminated custom cabinetry.
Crowning the residence is one of the largest rooftop terraces in the city, spanning approximately 3,200 square feet and offering sweeping 360-degree views of the Pacific Ocean, Newport Harbor, coastline, and surrounding mountains. The rooftop includes a second pool, fire pit, multiple seating areas, and an outdoor kitchen with Kalamazoo grill, pizza oven, and 26-foot island seating for ten.
Even the attached four-car garage reflects the home’s modern design, featuring glass cladding and a distinctive single hydraulic door.
Situated approximately two blocks from the Pacific Ocean and the beaches on the opposite side of the peninsula, the property enjoys close proximity to world-class shopping and dining, recreation, golf resorts, and Orange County’s John Wayne Airport, providing effortless access to destinations around the globe.
