    What's special

    Private entry courtyardBluff-front residenceBright and tranquil retreatFully renovated throughoutBedrooms feature emf-shielding paintWhole-house purificationInsulated ceilings
    Positioned on the front row of the coveted Bluffs community in Newport Beach, this rare bluff-front residence captures sweeping canyon and Back Bay views with effortless coastal living. Fully renovated throughout, the home blends modern design with refined comfort in one of the community’s most desirable locations. A private entry courtyard creates a welcoming and intimate arrival. Inside, the highly sought-after “E” floor plan maximizes natural light and views, with the main living areas and primary suite conveniently located on the entry level. The entire home has been thoughtfully updated, including all bathrooms beautifully remodeled with elevated finishes. Extensive improvements include new flooring and new windows (2023), enhancing both style and efficiency. The kitchen is appointed with premium Thermador appliances, complemented by a reverse osmosis water filtration system and whole-house purification. Designed with wellness in mind, all bedrooms feature EMF-shielding paint, and the primary suite is further elevated by two newly added skylights, creating a bright and tranquil retreat. Additional upgrades include CAT5 wiring, insulated ceilings, a new garage roof (2026), and an installed EV charger. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a rear downstairs patio offering sweeping Back Bay views and an upstairs deck off the living room that captures the same stunning natural backdrop — ideal for morning coffee or sunset gatherings. Currently configured as an expanded two-bedroom layout for additional closet and storage space, the home can easily be converted back to three bedrooms if desired. Residents of The Bluffs enjoy access to community pools, lush greenbelts, and scenic walking paths near the Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve, just moments from beaches, Balboa Island, John Wayne Airport, Fashion Island, and South Coast Plaza.
