    What's special

    This meticulously maintained 4-bedroom, 2-bath Newport Shores home offers a spacious two-story floor plan plus two outdoor living spaces, a rare combination in this close-knit beach community. Hardwood floors throughout the main floor living areas, plantation shutters, exposed wood beams, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and a wood-burning brick fireplace add warmth and character. The flexible floor plan features an open kitchen with white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a bright dining area that connects seamlessly to the living spaces. The main level includes a bedroom and adjacent bath with walk-in shower, while upstairs offers three additional bedrooms, including two connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath with dual sinks and granite countertops. A distinctive A-frame room adds flexibility and architectural character, making it ideal for a bonus room, playroom, home office, or creative space. Two outdoor living areas further enhance the home’s appeal. The front patio offers privacy behind a brick wall and vinyl fencing, while the rear patio provides a shaded retreat beneath a pergola just off the kitchen, offering multiple spaces for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying Southern California’s outdoor lifestyle. The home has been well cared for over the years, with numerous updates and improvements throughout. Highlights include an updated kitchen and bathrooms, epoxy garage flooring, recent exterior paint, updated electrical panel, new furnace (2019), new hot water heater (2022), whole-home water softener, reverse osmosis drinking water system, termite fumigation (2025), and a 40-year roof installed approximately 20 years ago. Nestled along a tranquil canal, Newport Shores offers a unique coastal lifestyle with exceptional amenities. Residents enjoy access to a waterfront clubhouse, lap pool, tennis and basketball courts, beach volleyball, and picnic and BBQ areas. Just across the street, the beach awaits for surfing, swimming, and sunset walks. Local favorites including Vacancy Coffee and the Frog House Surf Shop are a short walk away, while other local destinations including the harbor, Lido Marina Village, Cannery Village, and Hoag Hospital are all just minutes away. The home is located within the award-winning Newport-Mesa Unified School District.
