Located in the sought-after Newport Shores community - adjacent to one of Newport's best beaches - this thoughtfully upgraded 4-bedroom, 3-bath home captures the essence of coastal living. From the front gate, you can see the sand and beach, setting the tone for life by the ocean. Entering through the Dutch door you'll find the open-concept great room with a cozy fireplace, dining area, and a designer-upgraded kitchen with a large island, custom cabinetry, and sleek finishes. A sliding glass door leads to a private side yard oasis, and brings abundant natural light to create a breezy indoor/outdoor flow perfect for beachside living (and a hot outdoor shower is perfect after beach days). The flexible floor plan offers 2 bedrooms and 2 baths on the main level, and 2 bedrooms upstairs, including the oversized primary suite with soaring ceilings and a spa-inspired bath. Additional highlights include owned solar panels, two one-car garages (one converted into a finished playroom with an upgraded laundry area), and stylish bathrooms throughout. Each bedroom features an A/C Mini split for the few blistering hot days of the year. Despite its prime location, the home is surprisingly quiet you'll feel like you're miles away even with neighbors close by. From here, it's a short roll or stroll to popular local spots like Vacancy coffee, sandwich shops, restaurants, and markets, plus just a quick bike ride to both Huntington and Newport Beaches. And as a resident of Newport Shores, you'll enjoy resort-style amenities including a private clubhouse, pool, tennis, and BBQ areas - all just steps from the waves. This is your chance to own a piece of Newport Beach paradise where every day feels like a vacation.
