Anchoring the estate is a multi-level, infinity-edge pool clad in bespoke Italian glass mosaics, a true centerpiece. A covered loggia offers an open-air living room with breathtaking coastal views, ideal for year-round enjoyment. Created for grand-scale entertaining and intimate everyday living alike, this estate is the crown jewel of Newport Coast destined for the most discerning buyer. With immediate access to Pelican Hill Golf Course & Resort, world-class shopping, award-winning schools, and the finest of coastal Southern California living, this is more than a residence, it's a once in a lifetime legacy offering.
