About this home

Capturing Newport Beach's rare beach, bay, and bluff trifecta, this contemporary retreat balances elevated luxury with the intrigue of a 007-inspired aesthetic. Poised above Newport Harbor, with its own private boat slip accommodating a vessel up to 30 feet within the AERIE marina, the residence commands views across the Pacific Ocean, the channel, The Wedge, bay, and storied Sand Dollar Cove. Architecture by Brion Jeannette, construction by Tony Valentine Construction, and interiors by Leo Parrella Design Group unite in a residence defined by precision and cinematic sophistication. Walls of glass dissolve the boundary between interiors and horizon, while a Savant home-automation system with Alarm.com security supports effortless living. Main living areas are clad in Calacatta Bluette marble sourced as a single block in Italy, cut into a proprietary format with stainless steel reglets for a one-of-a-kind pattern. Panoramic water views animate the great room, where a fireplace is framed in Cristallo Quartzite from Brazil. Super-honed Calacatta Borghini marble surrounds the kitchen's countertops, with Gaggenau appliances and built-in sous vide equipment. Commercial-grade Sub-Zero refrigeration for 1,000+ bottles and a dedicated tasting area fill the privately secured wine enoteca, not included in square footage. Harbor views continue into the primary suite, where a marble fireplace anchors the bedroom and a private sitting room overlooks the harbor, connected by a private view balcony. Heated floors, an in-ground spa, and an outdoor shower complete a second private patio. Two custom closets and dual marble primary baths with full-slab showers and Waterworks fixtures round out the suite, along with a bullet-resistant safe room and dedicated phone line. The panoramic-view guest suite offers a walk-in closet, direct balcony access, and an en-suite bath with steam shower, while canted glass balcony railings, designed to deter birds, extend throughout the exterior spaces. Set within AERIE, a LEED-certified collection of just seven ultra-luxury residences, homeowners enjoy the marina setting along with a pool, shared community Duffy boat, and the Sand Dollar Lounge with a full bar and catering kitchen. Direct access to a private two-car garage, shared by only one other residence at AERIE, adds further ease. A private staircase leads to a secluded beach cove and yacht marina, while the dining, shopping, and village atmosphere of Corona del Mar are close at hand.
