About 1535 Dolphin Terrace
Perched on the front row of Corona del Mar’s coveted Irvine Terrace, 1535 Dolphin Terrace commands some of the most captivating views in all of Orange County. With an unmatched vantage point overlooking the mouth of the Newport Jetty, Harbor, Balboa Island, Catalina Island, and the sparkling Pacific and beyond, this property offers a front-row seat to the region’s most iconic sights—including nightly city lights, Fourth of July fireworks, and the world-famous Christmas Boat Parade. Ideally positioned across from the Newport Beach Country Club and moments from Fashion Island, Balboa Island, and the CDM Village, this single-level home offers both comfort and convenience in one of the coast’s most desirable neighborhoods. Inside, walls of glass frame the panoramic vistas from the great room, kitchen, and primary suite. The open-concept layout is perfect for entertaining, with a glass-enclosed dining area and expansive terrace for al fresco gatherings year-round. The resort-style backyard features an infinity-edge pool and elevated viewing terrace, ideal for watching boats glide through the channel by day and enjoying glowing sunsets and city lights by night. The primary suite includes a cozy fireplace and a spa-like bathroom with ocean-facing soaking tub, double vanities, and a walk-in shower. Whether you’re looking to move right in, renovate, or build your dream home, this is a rare opportunity to own one of CDM’s most iconic view properties in an unbeatable location.
