Condition Rating
Excellent
Despite being built in 1997, this property has clearly undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, which appear virtually new and feature modern, high-end finishes and appliances (e.g., SubZero). The kitchen boasts white shaker cabinets, light countertops, and modern fixtures, while the bathrooms showcase contemporary vanities, tiling, and glass-enclosed showers. The overall aesthetic, including hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, and features like LaCantina folding doors, indicates a recent and comprehensive update, aligning with current luxury standards and the 'extensively renovated within 5 years' criterion for an 'excellent' rating.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Panoramic Views: This CLIFFSIDE home offers spectacular 'front row' views of Newport Bay, Back Bay, City Lights, Harbor, and the Ocean, providing an unparalleled visual experience.
Exclusive Gated Community: Located within Castaways, a highly coveted guard-gated neighborhood in Newport Beach, ensuring security, privacy, and a prestigious address.
Exceptional Outdoor Living: Features one of the largest oversized cliffside lots, complete with a full pool, spa, and fire pit, enhanced by LaCantina folding doors for seamless indoor/outdoor coastal living.
High-End Interior Features: Boasts a beautiful kitchen with a center island and SubZero stainless steel appliances, complemented by a spacious primary bedroom offering views, a fireplace, and a private balcony.
Desirable Lifestyle & Walkability: The community provides excellent opportunities for walks, hikes, and biking, with easy walking access to coffee shops, restaurants, and stores.
Cons
Ongoing Association Fees: A monthly association fee of $400 adds to the recurring costs of homeownership, which potential buyers should factor into their budget.
Property Age & Potential for Updates: Built in 1997, while some areas like the kitchen and doors are updated, other aspects of the property may be original and could require future maintenance or modernization to align with current luxury trends.
Significant Price Increase from Recent Sale: The current list price of $6.995M is substantially higher than its $6.1M sale price in June 2024, which may lead to buyer scrutiny regarding market appreciation or recent improvements justifying the increase.
