Claiming approximately 38' of frontage on a virtually private beach, this well-appointed waterfront abode exemplifies refined coastal living. An assigned boat slip accommodating a vessel up to 35', elevator servicing all three levels, and an oversized attached two-car garage are just a few of the superlative amenities offered by the four-bedroom, four-and-two-half-bathroom residence. Bespoke interiors of appx. 3,424 square feet are characterized by wood flooring, large windows, custom shades, recessed lighting, and electric fireplaces. Further enhancing the living areas are accordion glass doors in the great room that define a convivial gathering spot while easing the divide between indoors and out. Beyond, the Newport Harbor serves as an extension of the patio where a built-in barbeque, landscaped exteriors, and private stairs to the stretch of sand below complete the picture of perfection. Equally alluring, the chef's kitchen showcases sleek, white cabinetry, a Subzero refrigerator, Wolf double oven, bi-folding windows, and designer pendant lights that illuminate a quartz island. Rounding out the main level is a generously sized en suite bedroom and guest half bath. The homeowners’ bedroom sits on a separate wing of the second floor and hosts a walk-in shower, soaking tub, dual vanity sinks, and accordion glass doors that open onto a private balcony which captures panoramic canal views. The remainder of this level is dedicated to a fully equipped laundry room and two en suite bedrooms including one with its own balcony. A glass stair railing rises to the expansive rooftop deck where the quiet solitude of boats drifting by, 360-degrees views, and gentle sea breezes beckon relaxation. Additional highlights include ample guest parking and advanced home automation (including voice programmable thermostats, hue lighting, and ultra-quiet Lutron shades). Set within a gated community in an award-winning school district near Balboa Fun Zone, Marina Park, Lido House hotel, high-end retail, and upscale dining, 44 Balboa Coves affords a lifestyle of privilege and convenience with the bay right in your backyard.
