About This Home
As of July 2025Welcome to 521 Poinsettia—a stunning, fully renovated residence nestled on a rare and coveted 45-foot-wide corner lot in the heart of Corona del Mar Village, epitomizing the charm and elegance of California coastal living. Completed in 2020 and voted BEST of Houzz Winner for 2021, this fully reimagined, 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers 2,167 (+/-) square feet of meticulously designed living space. The inviting brick and white wainscoting facade set the tone for the sophisticated, yet casual ambiance found throughout.

Ideal for entertaining, the patio features a built-in Wolf barbecue and outdoor kitchen, cozy fire pit, and an al fresco dining area—leading to a charming covered front porch. The gourmet kitchen boasts top-of-the-line Sub-Zero, Wolf, Miele, and Cove appliances, Brizo faucets, water filtration system, all-new cabinetry, countertops, and tile. A climate-controlled wine cellar adds to the home’s modern luxuries. The renovated downstairs bath features an elegant shower with Newport Brass and Toto fixtures throughout the home, including Lefroy Brooks sinks. Retreat to the expansive second-floor primary suite complete with a wraparound balcony—an ideal space to unwind while enjoying the ocean breeze. Also on the second floor are two additional bedrooms with shared bathroom, and a convenient laundry area. The home also includes a fully finished two-car garage with epoxy flooring, built-in storage, and easy access from the side street; newer roof, updated electrical and lighting, security camera system, Miele washer and dryer, and a three-zone air conditioning system (separate from the wine room).
