This is a rare investment opportunity just steps from the beach and surf in one of Newport Beach’s most desirable coastal communities. An appraisal conducted on June 19, 2026, valued the property at $4,050,000. The appraisal was performed by a Certified Member of the Appraisal Institute (MAI) and utilized all three approaches to value. This property is one of the few oversized lots in the area, offering significant potential for value enhancement. The backyard has ample space to add an additional accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Another option is to redevelop the site to build several new units, both of which could effectively maximize the potential of this large lot. Furthermore, the property presents an excellent opportunity for use as a primary residence. The upstairs can be used as a primary living space while renting out the lower unit as an income-producing property. Each of these options offers considerable value addition, whichever route you choose to pursue. These property features will allow for an effective and stable exit strategy in the future. Additionally, the home features a two-car attached garage and offers a peak ocean view from the patio. Conveniently located one street back from the beach, it is just a leisurely walk to Marina Village, fine dining, shops, and the harbor. This is an amazing opportunity for both short- and long-term income investors.

Offered for the first time in over 50 years, this newly remodeled on-the-sand residence captures the kind of Newport Beach ownership experience that is becoming increasingly rare. Set along one of the quieter stretches of the Peninsula, away from much of the heavy tourist traffic and activity found closer to the main beach areas, the home offers a more relaxed and private coastal setting. Unlike many oceanfront properties on the Peninsula, this section of beach is notably absent of a boardwalk directly in front of the home — creating a more peaceful connection to the sand and ocean without the constant flow of bikes and foot traffic just outside your door. Spanning approximately 2,640 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, the home is uniquely designed with complete living spaces on both levels, including bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and living areas upstairs and down. The layout offers exceptional flexibility for hosting guests, accommodating extended family, or creating a natural separation between entertaining and everyday living. The main upstairs living area opens to panoramic ocean views and abundant natural light, while the kitchen pairs custom cabinetry with Carrera marble countertops, a Shaws sink, Sub-Zero appliances, a Wolf range, and new white oak style floors that continue throughout the home. Just off the living room, a small oceanfront balcony provides a quiet place to take in the coastline, sea breeze, and evening sunsets. Downstairs, an additional kitchen and living area open directly to the expansive beachfront patio — a space designed to be lived in as much as the interior itself. Large enough for outdoor dining, lounging, and evenings gathered around the fire feature, it becomes the natural center of the home throughout the summer months, with the sand and ocean just beyond. Homes along this stretch of Oceanfront are often held for generations, and for good reason. The combination of direct beach access, a quieter setting, and the timeless appeal of life on the sand creates a place families return to year after year. With its limited availability and thoughtful remodel, this is more than just a beach house — it’s an opportunity to create the kind of family legacy that stays with generations to come. A rare opportunity to own your own little slice of heaven.
