Set on a storybook corner of coveted Little Balboa Island, recently remodeled 1520 Abalone Place captures the rare magic that makes this enclave so deeply cherished. Just steps from both the shimmering bay and the heart of Balboa Island, the charming Marine Avenue, lined with darling shops, cafes and restaurants, the location is nothing short of enchanting. Reimagined from top to bottom for effortless island living, the home unfolds across two thoughtfully designed levels, unified by white oak flooring and refined coastal finishes throughout. The lower level is designed for seamless indoor–outdoor living, featuring a secondary kitchen, two bedrooms, and one and a half bathrooms. Sliding doors open to inviting outdoor seating areas and a private jacuzzi, creating a relaxed extension of the living space perfect for hosting guests or unwinding after a day on the water. Upstairs, the home opens into a light-filled great room anchored by a cozy stone fireplace. A grand chef’s kitchen with quartz countertops and Wolf and Fisher Paschal appliances offers bar seating, perfect for entertaining and an effortless connection to the living and dining areas. Bifold windows fold away to invite ocean breezes and blur the line between indoors and out. Two additional bedrooms and bathrooms complete the level, including a serene primary suite with a beautifully appointed, spa-like bath that feels both luxurious and restorative. An attached garage with a golf cart makes island living effortless whether cruising the village, heading to the ferry, or taking in sunset Bay walks just steps from the front door. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly special home in one of Newport Beach’s most charming and tightly held enclaves, where the Bay sparkles, the pace slows, and every day feels like a getaway.
