About This Home

As of February 2022

Quite possibly one of Newport Height's most coveted locations, 2907 Cliff Drive presents a unique opportunity to secure a property that is truly extraordinary. Occupying an exceedingly private, elevated corner parcel, adjacent to mature trees and a quiet park, the property's unique positioning accentuates the home's striking soft contemporary design. Upon arrival, visitors are greeted by tranquil flowing fountains that set the stage for the home's serene ambiance. Soaring ceilings and gorgeous architectural elements, including an impressive staircase, make a statement upon entry. Present throughout the 5,000 square foot custom residence are high-quality finishes and compelling design details that confirm the home's unique appeal. Generous formal and informal social spaces, a gourmet kitchen with ocean and harbor views, full bar, climate-controlled wine cellar, and two bedroom suites comprise the main level. Upstairs, three bedroom suites, including a sumptuous master bedroom with spa-like bathroom and expansive ocean, harbor and city light views, library, home office and spacious game room complete the remarkably livable plan. Outdoors, enjoy year-round alfresco living, sensational sunsets and numerous amenities, including a covered terrace, built-in BBQ, saltwater pool and spa and spacious patio. A Vantage lighting system, central vacuum, a 3-car finished garage and close proximity to vibrant dining and shopping and world-class schools complete this exemplary residence.
