Designer villa

in Newport Coast. Reminiscent of an old world, Italian villa, this magnificent home has spectacular, panoramic ocean and countryside views from one of the highest points in Newport Coast. A standout among a community of exceptional homes, this beautiful estate has been enhanced with over $500,000 in luxury upgrades, meticulously crafted by award-winning designers. Among the unique architectural elements are graceful archways, art niches, a spacious, open floor plan with soaring ceilings, and an 800-bottle wine cellar off the formal dining room which leads to a private inner courtyard with fountain and koi pond. The massive great room provides an unrivaled setting for entertaining, with full bar, wine refrigerator and dishwasher. The adjoining, gourmet kitchen is a chef’s delight, featuring appliances from Sub Zero and Dacor, granite counters, stone backsplash, center island, custom ebony

cabinets, travertine flooring, recessed lighting, butler’s pantry and separate breakfast nook. Completing the main floor is a well-appointed master suite that provides a restful retreat, providing its occupants with a romantic fireplace, rich hardwood floors, crown moulding, custom closet and marble bath with spa tub. Up the dramatic staircase with elegant, wrought iron railings await three more generous bedrooms. The wonderful, California summer can be enjoyed to its fullest in the professionally landscaped yard which maximizes the expansive views, while lush gardens, a custom built cabana and warm fire pit provide areas to relax, dine and socialize.

This home is offered at $2,395,000. For more information, call First Team Estates® agent Dean Lueck at 949.275.1801, or e-mail him at DeanLueck@firstteam.com.
