About this home

Experience luxury beach front living and investment potential with 1504 W Oceanfront, a one-of-a-kind mixed-use property in Newport Beach on the Balboa Peninsula. This premier property spans approximately 7,609 square feet on a 5,000-square-foot corner lot with 100 feet of ocean frontage and breathtaking panoramic views from Newport Pier to Balboa Pier and beyond. Three residential units with three short-term lodging permits and two commercial spaces, this exceptional five-unit offering blends coastal charm with modern luxury. The commercial spaces include the iconic “15th Street Surf Shop” retail store and an oceanfront restaurant currently under renovation, formerly known as “The Stuft Surfer”. The three separate residential units consist of a three bedroom residence, a newly built two bedroom residence with an office/bonus room, in addition to a newly constructed one bedroom unit. All three units hold short-term rental permits (SLPs), a rare and valuable asset in Newport Beach. This property is primed for exceptional income generation, with pro forma projections estimating $920,608 in annual gross revenue combined from short-term rentals and commercial leasing. A standout feature of this estate is its expansive 50x50-foot rooftop deck, one of the largest oceanfront decks on the Balboa Peninsula, offering unparalleled ocean and bay views with endless opportunities for entertainment and relaxation. 1504 W Oceanfront is not just a five-in-one compound; it’s a legacy property that delivers both immediate value and long-term returns in the highly coveted Newport Beach market.

Despite the 1962 build year, the listing explicitly states 'newly built' and 'newly constructed' residential units, and the restaurant is 'currently under renovation.' The images confirm a comprehensive, high-end, and very recent renovation. The kitchens feature modern cabinetry, stone countertops, and contemporary appliances. Bathrooms are updated with sleek vanities, glass showers, and modern fixtures. Flooring is hard surface throughout, and lighting is recessed and modern. All visible components appear new or virtually new, indicating no deferred maintenance and meeting current quality standards, aligning perfectly with the 'Excellent' condition criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5 years.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Oceanfront Location & Views: The property boasts 100 feet of ocean frontage on the Balboa Peninsula with breathtaking panoramic views from Newport Pier to Balboa Pier and beyond, offering unparalleled coastal living.
Exceptional Income Potential: This mixed-use, five-unit compound is primed for significant income generation, with pro forma projections estimating $920,608 in annual gross revenue from short-term rentals and commercial leasing.
Rare Short-Term Rental Permits: All three residential units hold valuable short-term lodging permits (SLPs), a rare and highly sought-after asset in the Newport Beach market, maximizing rental flexibility and income.
Expansive Rooftop Deck: A standout 50x50-foot rooftop deck, one of the largest oceanfront decks on the Balboa Peninsula, provides unparalleled ocean and bay views, enhancing entertainment and relaxation opportunities.
Versatile Mixed-Use Compound: Described as a 'five-in-one compound,' this property offers a unique blend of residential and commercial spaces, providing both immediate value and strong long-term investment returns.

Cons

Age of Original Structure: Built in 1962, the core structure is over 60 years old, which may imply potential for aging infrastructure, systems, and higher ongoing maintenance costs despite recent unit renovations.
Ongoing Commercial Renovation: One commercial space, an oceanfront restaurant, is 'currently under renovation,' meaning it is not yet income-producing and may require additional investment or face delays before becoming fully operational.
Complex Management & Maintenance: As a mixed-use property with multiple residential units (including short-term rentals) and commercial spaces, it demands significant and complex management oversight and ongoing maintenance, which can be time-consuming.
