Listing agent Casey Lesher’s official tour describes the work of architect Carlton Graham and builders Steve Davidson Construction and Tom Waters. It identifies views of Newport Harbor, Balboa Island, the ocean and Catalina Island. Those credits help explain why the house feels planned around its particular position rather than assembled from unrelated luxury features.
The main level combines a great room, dining area and island kitchen. White oak ceilings and limestone surfaces bring natural materials into a space surrounded by glass. Fold-away doors give the outlook a direct relationship with the rooms, while a fireplace provides a more inward-facing place to settle.
The primary suite is also on the main floor. Its heated view deck extends across the house and includes a barbecue area, according to the tour description. That makes outdoor time possible without turning every meal into a trip downstairs.
The lower level changes the mood. A lounge and media room have a wet bar, while a glass-enclosed office and wine cellar add separate uses. Accordion doors connect this floor to an infinity-edge pool, raised spa and outdoor kitchen. Entertaining can move outside without abandoning the room where it began.
The archived marketing video shows the property’s design, not what furnishings a later owner retained. For our own wish list, the strongest choice is the distinction between the floors. One can support everyday living and a private retreat; the other can take on a louder evening. Both get the benefit of the same remarkable coastal setting.
