1201 Dolphin Terrace, Corona Del Mar, CA 92625

From Irvine Terrace's most prized front row, this Brandon Architects estate reads as both residence and vantage point, composed to hold Newport Harbor, Catalina Island, city lights, and the evening horizon in uninterrupted frame. Appx. 8,164 square feet of living space unfolds with the restraint and precision of custom architecture, where volume, materiality, and sightline work in quiet balance.

Inside, 11.5-foot ceilings and wide-plank white oak floors establish a warm architectural cadence, softened by bespoke finishes and details that reward close attention. Across the plan, 5 bedroom suites, a private office, and 8 baths support privacy, gathering, and retreat with equal clarity.

Discreetly integrated technology, anchored by a Savant smart home system, brings lighting, climate, security, and entertainment into seamless control without disrupting the design. Wellness, cinema, wine, and entertaining each occupy their own considered moments: a private gym and studio, state-of-the-art screening room, full bar, elevator, 4-car garage, and 1,300-bottle climate-controlled wine cellar secured with biometric access.

Daily life centers around an open great room, dining area, and chef's kitchen, where Gaggenau appliances, a Quartzite-clad island, and an adjoining prep kitchen create an understated command center for hosting. Floor-to-ceiling Renlita doors recede completely, dissolving the threshold between interior rooms, outdoor terraces, and the harbor beyond.

Within the primary suite, scale gives way to intimacy through an expansive view terrace, sleek stone fireplace, spa-caliber bath with soaking tub and steam shower, and a custom wardrobe finished in suede and leather. Below, a secondary primary suite, guest accommodations, and a grand entertaining lounge extend the home's hospitality to the lower level.

Beyond the glass, an infinity-edge pool, built-in BBQ kitchen, and layered lounge spaces create a resort-like edge to the architecture, oriented toward sunset and water. Rarely does a Newport Beach residence combine this front-row position, architectural pedigree, and amenity program with such composure. Here, coastal living is not simply framed by the view; it is organized around it.
