A rare offering for the discerning waterfront buyer, 1344 West Bay Avenue delivers the elements that matter most: a substantial private dock, a mid-peninsula West Bay Avenue address, and a walkable, boat-centric lifestyle in one of Newport’s most prized bayfront corridors. Set on a 110-foot-deep bayfront parcel, this residence enjoys an ideal orientation along a wide, refined stretch of West Bay—quiet, prestigious, and notably free of visual clutter or moorings. The private dock is designed for stress-free boating, accommodating a 59’ yacht with the additional potential for a large side-tie vessel up to approximately 40’ (depending on beam)—a rare and increasingly difficult-to-replicate asset on the Peninsula. Spanning nearly 3,000 square feet, the home has been thoughtfully reimagined with a clean, coastal sensibility that prioritizes light, flow, and livability. Four bedrooms are located upstairs, including a flexible room ideal as an office or study, complemented by an additional landing workspace. A main-level bath with exterior access is purpose-built for bayfront living—perfect for returning from the boat or beach without disruption. From nearly every room, the home opens to dynamic harbor views across Newport Channel and Lido Isle Reach, where sailboats, yacht traffic, and evening lights from Fashion Island create a constantly evolving backdrop. The depth of the lot and setback from the boardwalk provide a sense of privacy and scale rarely found on the Peninsula. Equally compelling is the walkability: steps to Marina Park, bayfront beaches, surf breaks, Peninsula Village dining, and Newport’s only beachfront elementary school—all while remaining centrally positioned for easy on-and-off peninsula access. With approved permits for additional enhancements, the property offers immediate enjoyment today and strategic optionality for tomorrow. For buyers prioritizing dock capacity, location, and lifestyle over excess, 1344 West Bay Avenue stands apart as a true harbor-forward opportunity.
