Welcome to 1700 Highland Drive—a stunning, upgraded residence in the heart of Newport Beach’s sought-after Dover Shores. This luxurious 5-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom home spans over 5,100 square feet on a 10,230 square foot lot, offering a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and coastal convenience. Thoughtful recent upgrades include a redesigned kitchen backsplash, freshly repainted cabinetry, and a newly added living room/office with French doors. The laundry room has been reimagined with new floors, cabinetry, and French doors that lead to the pickleball court. A reconfigured movie room, retiled pool, and a newly added sectioned brick wall in the backyard further elevate the home’s functionality and style. The open-concept layout showcases a spacious great room with infinity doors that flow into an entertainer’s dream backyard—complete with a private pool with Baja shelf, spa, built-in seating, gas fire pit, and pickleball court. The chef’s kitchen features a six-burner stove, double ovens, Calcutta countertops, Miele espresso built-in, walk-in pantry, and custom cabinetry. The serene primary suite offers a walk-in closet, barn door, and spa-style bath with dual vanities, Calcutta gold marble, soaking tub, and oversized shower. One bedroom and four bathrooms are located on the main level, along with a den, office, and laundry room. Smart home systems, zoned HVAC, Elan surround sound, EV charging, reclaimed wood accents, security cameras, and a gated 40-foot driveway complete this exceptional offering—just minutes from the Back Bay loop, beaches, top schools, and 17th Street dining.
