314 E Oceanfront

The charm of Cape Cod meets the allure of Newport Beach at this elegant oceanfront residence on the Balboa Peninsula. Step onto the sand from your spacious front patio, and enjoy panoramic ocean, beach and sunset views from the primary suite's balcony. A shingled-cottage exterior creates a welcoming ambiance at the seaside home, which showcases a seamless open-concept main level that opens to the front patio and features a living room with fireplace and built-in cabinetry, a spacious dining room, and a custom kitchen with black stone countertops, a hand-carved island with butcher-block top, white bead-board cabinetry with illuminated glass uppers, a pantry with a custom French door, and a suite of top-of-the-line appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf and Dacor. Wood flooring graces the entire residence and complements impeccably crafted millwork, including crown molding, wainscoting and custom vanities. Upscale nautical elements complement the beachfront setting, and an elegant staircase, skylights, custom tilework, and premium paint and wall treatments embellish throughout. Three ensuite bedrooms and three- and one-half baths are revealed in a two-level floorplan of approximately 2,583 square feet. All bedrooms are crowned with vaulted ceilings, and the ocean-view primary suite presents a sitting area with fireplace, two walk-in closets with furniture-caliber built-ins, and an opulent bath with separate vanities, a separate shower and a jetted tub. The home's location is without compare. Not only does it open directly to the beach, it is just a few blocks from the Balboa Fun Zone, the Balboa Island ferry terminal, Peninsula Park and the Balboa Pier. Nationally acclaimed schools serve the community, and Fashion Island, Newport Coast, Crystal Cove, Corona del Mar and Laguna Beach are enviably convenient.
