This premium lot 85 frontage X 112 depth offers the ideal canvas to build a custom luxury home that captures the essence of coastal Newport Beach living. The current owner has already begun the process, engaging award-winning designer Rona Graf of Grace Blu Designs to craft inspired plans that seamlessly blend modern sophistication with timeless California style. Buyers may choose to continue with the existing design a single level home of 3,900sf and utilize portions of the current structure, or start anew with their own vision.
