255 Ocean View

Perched just above Pacific Coast Highway in one of Newport Heights' most coveted pockets, this Ocean View residence sits steps from C'est Si Bon and the Balboa Bay Club. The utilities along this stretch have already been undergrounded, a meaningful upgrade that sets the street apart, and the views stretch across Catalina, the ocean, and the bay. There's a Charleston-inspired sensibility to the way this home lives. Wood floors run throughout, fireplaces anchor both the main and upper levels, and French doors open from nearly every room, including out to a true French-door patio that pulls the outdoors in. A dramatic spiral staircase serves as the architectural centerpiece, adding a sense of grandeur the moment you walk in. It feels warm, gracious, and unmistakably tied to its setting. Offered with 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and an elevator to all levels, this is a rare street-to-street lot with access from both Cliff Drive and Ocean View. Move in as is, or reimagine and expand on the existing footprint. The opportunity speaks for itself: the neighboring property, on a smaller lot, sold in February 2024 for $5.175M, making this an exceptional value at today's pricing.
