About 218 E Oceanfront
As seen in "Architectural Digest", this newly rebuilt oceanfront residence is located on a rare corner lot directly on the sand on Newport Beach’s Balboa Peninsula. Completed in 2024 by Burkhart Brothers Construction, the approximately 2,650 square foot home was designed to capture ocean views from both the main and upper levels. The exterior features a contemporary blend of wood, stone, glass, and standing-seam metal roofing, complemented by professionally designed landscaping and exterior lighting. The interior offers four bedrooms and three and one-half baths with an open and functional layout. The first level opens via a wall of motorized auto-open Awake glass doors to a beachfront patio with built-in BBQ, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. The main living area includes a great room with fireplace and dining area that flows directly to a kitchen designed for culinary use and gatherings. The kitchen’s large two-tier island is designed for food preparation and serving guests, while polished Calacatta quartzite countertops feature pop-up outlets and waterfall edges. Custom cabinetry provides specialized storage for spices and utensils, with Rev-A-Shelf systems and a roll-out pantry enhancing convenience. Together with its butler’s pantry, the kitchen hosts a full suite of Wolf, Cove, and Sub-Zero appliances. The second level is accessed via a floating three-tier staircase and includes a loft, secondary bedrooms, and a primary suite with vaulted ceilings, fireplace, private ocean-view deck, walk-in closet, and bath with oversized shower and freestanding tub. Richard Marshall hardwood flooring extends throughout the upper level. Additional features include a garage with vehicle lift for a third car, Savant smart-home automation, and designer lighting, plumbing fixtures, and hardware throughout. Conveniently located near the Balboa Pier, Newport Harbor, dining, shopping, and coastal amenities.
