A work of modern art, 1717 Irvine Avenue emerges as a contemporary haven where architecture, nature, and luxury coexist in perfect harmony. Newly reconstructed with uncompromising craftsmanship and a bold artistic sensibility, this residence transcends traditional living. A monumental 10-foot glass pivot door introduces the home with a dramatic reveal: indoor and outdoor spaces collapse into one fluid environment shaped by elemental beauty. A waterfall wall, lush living plant installations, and a mature olive tree bring nature into the core of the home, creating an ethereal threshold that feels both tranquil and unforgettable. Inside, a sweeping open floor plan grounds the home's modern aesthetic. The living room, wrapped in disappearing glass walls, blurs the boundaries between inside and out and flows seamlessly into the gourmet kitchen. Here, custom cabinetry, a hidden walk-in pantry, striking stone surfaces, and top-tier Thermador appliances elevate the space into a functional work of art, anchored by an oversized waterfall quartzite island. The formal dining room glows beneath a statement chandelier and is framed by dual Thermador 92-bottle wine towers — an exquisite stage for intimate dinners or grand celebrations. The entertainer's backyard extends the modern narrative with a saltwater pool and spa illuminated by micro-LED lighting, a fully realized outdoor kitchen and BBQ, and generous lounge areas. Whether in sunlight or beneath the glow of the evening lights, the outdoor environment evokes the serenity of a private resort. The primary suite serves as a luxurious retreat — beautifully composed with a sculptural soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, dual vanities, and a custom walk-in closet. Three additional guest bedrooms feature bespoke closets and share a spa-level bath, while one of the guest bedrooms with custom built-ins can serve as an office, which adds elegant utility to the home's thoughtful layout. Even the garage becomes part of the design narrative, finished at showroom quality with hexagon lighting, custom cabinetry, and designer flooring. Enhanced by premium technology throughout — including Waterstone fixtures, Lutron lighting control, dual-zone HVAC, central audio, and whole-home Wi-Fi expansion — this residence is as intelligent as it is striking. Positioned near the edge of Newport Beach's treasured Back Bay, 1717 Irvine Avenue is not merely a home but a modern compound of curated luxuries, bold design, and seamless indoor-outdoor living.
