About this home

Available for the first time in nearly two decades, 25 San Mateo Way is one of the most iconic offerings in Corona del Mar’s Spyglass Hill. Set on an extraordinary oversized lot with rare positioning, this trophy estate captures sweeping, unobstructed views that span Newport Coast’s hillsides, Pelican Hill Golf Course, the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, Newport Harbor, Fashion Island, and sparkling city lights stretching to downtown LA. A private gated driveway leads to the residence, where approximately 7,109 sqft of interior living space is complemented by nearly 720 sqft of covered outdoor loggia space. Nearly every room in the home embraces the panoramic vistas and unparalleled privacy. The main level begins with a grand foyer and features a formal living room, wine room & tasting area, sunroom retreat, and an expansive great room that blends the family room, kitchen, and informal dining for 10+. Frameless glass bi-fold doors extend the interiors to the backyard sanctuary. A main-level ensuite bedroom offers comfort for guests. The upper level hosts 4 additional bedrooms, including an executive office with retreat and a large loft/media room. In total, the home offers 5 bedrooms plus office, bonus room, optional gym or private den, multiple living areas, and exceptional flexibility. Resort-like grounds create a setting designed for both entertainment and everyday enjoyment. Highlights include a pool with slide, spa, waterfalls, built-in BBQ island, crushed seashell bocce ball court, water features, and two covered loggia spaces: one designed for dining al fresco, the other for lounging with a fireplace and television. The meticulously maintained landscaping evokes the romance of Tuscany and offers multiple seating points to enjoy the endless views. With its gated entry, oversized driveway, 3-car garage, and unique setback that ensures unusual privacy, 25 San Mateo Way stands apart as a truly one-of-a-kind opportunity. Combining iconic views, timeless design, and a legacy lot, this estate represents the very best of coastal Orange County living - just a stone’s throw from premier shopping and dining at Fashion Island and the CdM Village, five-star luxury resorts, award-winning schools, John Wayne Airport, and convenient freeway access.

Despite being built in 1973, this property presents as a fully renovated and meticulously maintained luxury estate. The images reveal a high-end kitchen with professional-grade stainless steel appliances, custom wood cabinetry, and stone countertops, all in pristine condition. The multiple bathrooms are equally luxurious, featuring quality vanities, stone surfaces, and tiled showers/tubs that appear virtually new. High-quality flooring (hardwood, large format tile) is consistent throughout, and the presence of solar panels indicates recent significant upgrades. The 'timeless design' mentioned in the description, combined with the immaculate condition of all visible components and resort-like amenities, suggests an extensive, high-quality renovation within the last 5-15 years, bringing the property to current quality standards with no deferred maintenance and minimal physical depreciation.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Unobstructed Panoramic Views: The property boasts sweeping, unobstructed views of Newport Coast hillsides, Pelican Hill Golf Course, the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, Newport Harbor, Fashion Island, and city lights stretching to downtown LA from nearly every room.
Extraordinary Oversized Lot & Privacy: Set on an extraordinary oversized lot with rare positioning, featuring a private gated driveway and unique setback, ensuring unparalleled privacy and exclusivity.
Expansive & Flexible Interior Living Space: With approximately 7,109 sqft, the home offers 5 bedrooms plus an office, bonus room, multiple living areas, a wine room, and a sunroom, providing exceptional flexibility and space for various needs.
Resort-like Outdoor Amenities: The meticulously maintained resort-like grounds include a pool with slide, spa, waterfalls, built-in BBQ island, bocce ball court, and two covered loggias with a fireplace and television, ideal for entertainment.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Strategically located a stone's throw from premier shopping and dining at Fashion Island and CdM Village, five-star luxury resorts, award-winning schools, John Wayne Airport, and convenient freeway access.

Cons

Age of Construction (1973): While described as having 'timeless design' and meticulously maintained, the 1973 build year might imply older infrastructure or design elements that may not align with preferences for ultra-modern construction or the latest energy efficiency standards of newer luxury homes.
High Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $576 represents a notable ongoing cost, which, while common in luxury communities, is an additional financial consideration for potential buyers.
Niche Market Appeal: The property's ultra-luxury price point (nearly $19 million) and specific aesthetic cater to a very exclusive and limited buyer pool, potentially leading to a longer market time compared to properties with broader appeal.
