About this home

Perched high in the exclusive 24-hour-guard-gated enclave of Pelican Hill, this refreshed estate captures some of the most extraordinary ocean, coastline, Newport Harbor, and city-light views along the Southern California coast. Spanning approximately 12,155 square feet on a 22,000+ square-foot home site, the residence blends timeless architecture with modern luxury, offering the ideal balance between grandeur and livability. The main level opens to expansive entertaining spaces, including a spacious gathering room with fireplace and bar, an elegant dining area and formal living room, and a circular office with its own fireplace. The chef’s kitchen features dual islands, Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, top-tier stainless- steel appliances, a butler’s pantry, and an inviting breakfast area that frames panoramic harbor views. Indoor-outdoor living unfolds seamlessly onto vast terraces and patios surrounding the resort-style pool and spa, perfect for entertaining or quiet sunset relaxation. Two main-floor guest suites, a gym, and a pool bath complete this level. Upstairs, the primary suite enjoys breathtaking vistas, a cozy sitting area with fireplace, dual marble bathrooms, generous walk-in closets, and an expanded balcony to take in the ocean views during the day and incredible City lights views at night. Two additional family bedrooms, each with en-suite baths, connect to a spacious playroom that opens onto a grand view deck. A separate guest suite with its own private patio provides additional quarters for visitors. Downstairs, the subterranean level is a dream for entertaining and leisure: enjoy a private movie theater, half basketball court, and a retro-style soda fountain and wine lounge with temperature-controlled storage. A rare six-car garage (two on the main level with room for additional lifts), and four below with new epoxy floors, provides ample space for collectors. Additional highlights include a private estate manager's office with full bath, a walk-in secured vault, and a full-service elevator connecting all levels. Set within the prestigious Pelican Hill community—renowned for its security, exclusivity, and proximity to top-rated schools, Crystal Cove State Beach, Pelican Hill Resort, and the world- famous Pelican Hill Golf Club—this remarkable property epitomizes coastal luxury at its finest.

Cons

Substantial Monthly Association Fees: The $1,080 monthly association fee represents a significant ongoing cost that buyers must factor into their budget.
Niche Appeal of Specific Features: While impressive, highly specialized amenities like a half basketball court and retro-style soda fountain may cater to a narrower buyer demographic, potentially extending market time.
Property Age & Potential for System Updates: Built in 1994, despite being 'refreshed,' a property of this age and magnitude may still require ongoing maintenance or future updates to major systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) to meet the expectations of some ultra-luxury buyers.
