Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a linear fireplace, spa-like bathroom with a large Kohler bubble tub, and a separate steam shower wrapped in custom tile and glass—an indulgent escape after a day at the beach. Directly across the street, enjoy access to Newport Shores’ coveted amenities: an Olympic-sized pool, tennis and volleyball courts, and a vibrant calendar of community events—all within easy reach of the sand, restaurants, and coastal trails. Beautifully designed, thoughtfully rebuilt, and ideally located, 491 Prospect is a rare opportunity to own a truly turn-key home in one of Newport Beach’s most desirable neighborhoods.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Premier Coastal Location: Situated in the heart of Newport Shores, just steps from the sand, offering unparalleled access to beaches, restaurants, and coastal trails.
Extensive & Recent Renovation: Completely rebuilt from the ground up in 2020 with all major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roof) replaced, providing a truly turn-key luxury residence.
Rare Oversized Corner Lot: Features a unique, larger-than-typical corner lot for the area, providing enhanced privacy, generous outdoor space, a private driveway, and expansion potential.
Luxury Finishes & Indoor-Outdoor Living: Boasts an open-concept design, custom maple kitchen with indoor/outdoor bar, oversized bifold doors, and a spa-like primary suite, ideal for entertaining and coastal living.
Exclusive Community Amenities: Direct access to Newport Shores' coveted amenities, including an Olympic-sized pool, tennis courts, and community events, enhancing lifestyle appeal.

Cons

Recent Price Reductions: Multiple price adjustments indicate the property may have been initially overpriced or is experiencing slower market absorption, potentially signaling a need for further negotiation.
Limited Lot Size (Absolute): While oversized for the immediate area, the 2,838 sqft lot is still relatively compact for a luxury single-family home, which might not appeal to buyers seeking expansive grounds.
Partial Ocean Views: Although views are present, the 'Peek-A-Boo' designation suggests limited or obstructed ocean views, which could be a consideration for buyers expecting panoramic coastal vistas at this price point.
