About 1026 Santiago Drive
Occupying one of the highest vantage points in Dover Shores, 1026 Santiago Drive enjoys an exceptional sense of elevation, privacy, and perspective. Its commanding position reveals a remarkably layered panorama encompassing the mountains, Fashion Island, the Back Bay, Newport Harbor, the Pacific Ocean, and Catalina Island. Spanning approximately 3,500 square feet, the residence offers four bedrooms and four full bathrooms, with generous living spaces, abundant natural light, and an easy connection to the outdoors. Distinctive architecture and a rare rear-yard swimming pool further distinguish the property, creating a private setting equally suited to everyday living and entertaining. The home is set within one of Newport Beach’s most sought-after residential enclaves, immediately adjacent to the Back Bay and surrounded by some of the area’s best recreational and lifestyle amenities. Galaxy View Park and the Castaways walking path and lookout are close at hand, while 17th Street—with its cafés, coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques, and everyday conveniences—is also within walking distance. The property is also conveniently positioned near well-regarded elementary, middle, and high schools, with Newport Harbor, Fashion Island, the beaches, and the broader Newport Beach coastline only minutes away. A rare lease opportunity combining privacy, architectural character, outdoor living, and one of the most compelling vantage points in Dover Shores.
