1042 W Bay Avenue, Newport Beach, CA 92661 - Orange County

Harbor views stretch endlessly from this striking contemporary bayfront retreat on Balboa Peninsula, where architecture and setting merge to create a home of exceptional style and ease. A collaboration between its visionary owner and the late architect Kurt Donat, the residence sits on a coveted corner lot, capturing ever-changing panoramas of the turning basin, city lights, Saddleback Mountain, and beyond. Retractable walls of glass open to a generous waterfront patio, blending indoor and outdoor living while framing the natural beauty of the harbor.

Encompassing approximately 4,256 square feet, the thoughtfully designed layout includes a spacious great room that flows seamlessly into a chef’s kitchen with an oversized island, marble countertops, and English Sycamore cabinetry. The main level also offers a guest suite with a private bath, powder room, and an attached three-car garage.

Upstairs, the primary suite spans the full width of the home, showcasing breathtaking water views, a fireplace, built-in workspace, and a limestone bath with a Jacuzzi tub. Four additional bedrooms, two baths, and a versatile loft provide comfortable spaces for family and guests.

Distinctive materials are woven throughout, including maple ceilings, mahogany floors, Venetian plaster, limestone, stainless steel railings, Brazilian Blue granite, and a zinc roof. Just beyond the patio, a private pier and dock accommodate a vessel of approximately __ feet, offering direct access to the harbor for sailing, paddleboarding, and endless waterfront adventures. Moments from Balboa’s vibrant shops, dining, and sandy beaches, this remarkable home embodies the essence of coastal California living.
