1962 Port Cardiff

Description

A Rare Architectural Statement in the Port Streets.Quietly commanding in one of Newport Beach’s most coveted neighborhoods, this reimagined contemporary estate has undergone a comprehensive, whole-home remodel, elevating nearly 7,924 square feet through thoughtful design, precision craftsmanship, and elevated material selections.Natural light moves effortlessly throughout the home, anchored by custom-crafted wide-plank white oak flooring, soaring ceilings, and a dramatic three-story glass stairwell crowned with a bespoke chandelier. Walls, plaster, lighting, kitchens, and baths have all been meticulously redesigned, resulting in interiors that feel refined, cohesive, and timeless rather than trend-driven.The chef’s kitchen is sculptural yet highly functional, appointed with Viking appliances, expansive stone surfaces, and sleek custom cabinetry. Accordion glass doors open to newly designed outdoor spaces, where Garden Studio–designed landscaping and completed pool engineering allow the next owner to finalize a resort-style setting tailored to their vision.The 2,500-square-foot lower level is immersive and unexpected, offering a glass-enclosed gym, executive office, multipurpose or playroom, and a fully upgraded private home theater with new equipment, custom velvet seating included, stadium tiers, and a performance stage. A two-story exterior fountain adds a dramatic architectural element and a sense of arrival.Upstairs, four en-suite bedrooms provide privacy and volume, including one with a hidden “secret room.” The primary suite is a private retreat with fireplace, deck, custom built-ins, and a fully reimagined spa-inspired bath featuring a steam shower, oversized soaking tub, and a customized walk-in closet with illuminated rods.Additional enhancements include whole-house reverse osmosis water filtration, advanced air purification, a comprehensive security system, and a generator, reinforcing the home’s focus on comfort, wellness, and modern resilience.Set on a 9,222-square-foot lot in the Port Streets, this home offers something rarely available: true scale, fresh design, and immediate livability. No other current offering in the neighborhood or Newport Beach combines this square footage, condition, and value.This is not a renovation for resale. It is a considered architectural reset, designed to be lived in, experienced, and remembered.
