About This Home

As of April 2018

"HarborWatch" - first time offered on the market. Custom-built Newport Shingle Style contemporary house on 2.74 acres directly across the street from Newport Harbor - just a short walk to town! Includes detached 3br guest cottage with its own driveway access. Enjoy views of the harbor, boating activity, and scenic Newport Bridge, especially at night with its pearl-necklace lighting. Top of the line, quality construction is evident as you walk through both the main house and guest cottage. All four bedrooms with en-suite baths. One guest bedroom on entry level, master and two additional bedrooms on second floor with views and exterior balcony space. Water views as well from the full walk-out lower level. Media room, recreation (ping pong/pool table)area, work space and storage. Beautifully landscaped grounds. Large yard for sunning and games. All very private and situated behind a solid brick wall away from the road. Nothing comparable on the market at present that offers first class living with water views so close to town.
