About This Home
As of April 2019Incredible opportunity ocean side of PCH in the desirable beach community of Shore Cliffs. Just one block away from the private community beach, this ocean view one-story bungalow is situated on an almost 9400 sq ft corner lot and is one of the largest interior lots in the neighborhood with an unobstructed ocean view. This landmark property offers versatility for either redevelopment or remodel and is unique in value due to the unobstructed view, corner location and its generous buildable area.
In Shore Cliffs, where each home is custom built, ground-up development opportunities are becoming a scarcity in this prestigious coastal neighborhood. Corner lots with a first and second floor view even more so. Whether you're in the market to remodel or build your custom coastal dream home, this special property in one of the most desirable zip codes in the country deserves your attention.
Corona del Mar is a neighborhood in the affluent city of Newport Beach, California. Shore Cliffs, nestled in the southernmost area of Newport Beach and north of Laguna Beach, is the unforgettable tree-lined enclave of 140 lots with private beach-gated entry and within walking distance to restaurants, theaters, boutiques, night life, and family-friendly activities. For nature lovers, Crystal Cove hiking trails and bike paths are nearby. With luxury shopping experiences at Fashion Island and the nearby internationally recognized South Coast Plaza this is Southern California living at its best.
