Perched on one of Dover Shores’ most desirable view lots, this Mediterranean Coastal luxury home captures sweeping, unobstructed views of the Upper Newport Bay, the Back Bay wetlands, and the distant ocean. The main living area is defined by top-to-bottom glass windows and sliding doors that open to the backyard, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor connection and filling the space with natural light and panoramic views. Inside, rich hardwood floors, elegant coffered ceilings, and a fireplace bring sophistication and warmth to the living space. The kitchen features upgraded stainless-steel appliances, a center island, a cozy breakfast nook, and bar-top seating, offering a comfortable and stylish setting for casual dining or gathering with family and friends. A refined library with custom wood built-ins provides a versatile space that can serve as an office, lounge, or whatever best suits the new owner’s lifestyle. The primary suite is a private retreat with its own fireplace, a spacious walk-in closet, and a spa-like bathroom featuring a jetted soaking tub framed by picture windows, a generous walk-in shower, and direct access to the backyard. The outdoor areas are designed for relaxation and hosting, with a built-in BBQ, hot tub, and lush landscaping accented by fruit trees, all set against the peaceful backdrop of the Back Bay. The property is gated for added privacy and security, and the garage includes built-in storage for convenience.
