A gourmet kitchen is equipped with professional grade appliances, marble countertops, a butler’s pantry, and walls of glass that draw the outdoors in. The private primary suite is a true retreat, appointed with curvilinear walnut paneled walls, a spa inspired marble bath, and a custom fitted dressing room. Additional accommodations include a guest suite with ensuite bath, a den with bespoke built ins, and a two car garage. Set within the highly sought after community of Irvine Terrace, this residence offers rare front row living just moments from Newport Harbor, the Newport Beach Country Club, and world class shopping, dining, and entertainment at Fashion Island.
