An exceptional opportunity to acquire a premier bayfront property on Newport Beach’s coveted Balboa Peninsula, just a short stroll from the heart of Balboa Village. Situated directly on the bay, this 3,825-square-foot parcel features approximately 45 feet of frontage, offering an impressive footprint and tremendous potential in one of Southern California’s most desirable waterfront locations.
The existing single-family residence features 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and approximately 2,987 square feet of living space. The home was lifted and substantially rebuilt in 1995, providing an opportunity for a buyer to enjoy the existing residence while updating and modernizing the property to suit their personal vision. For those seeking a larger-scale project, the property also presents an exciting redevelopment opportunity. According to information provided by the City of Newport Beach, the site may accommodate a newly constructed residence exceeding 5,000 square feet of interior living space. Additionally, there may be an opportunity to construct a private dock, further enhancing its appeal as a premier waterfront estate.
The location is truly exceptional, with the bay at your doorstep and the Pacific Ocean just blocks away. Balboa Village’s renowned restaurants, boutique shops, and iconic boardwalk are all within easy walking distance, along with the Balboa Island Ferry, Balboa Fun Zone, and some of Newport Beach’s most celebrated beaches.
With limited opportunities for bayfront ownership and continued demand for luxury waterfront residences, this property offers exceptional flexibility for builders, developers, and discerning end users alike. Whether upgrading the existing residence, undertaking a thoughtful renovation, or pursuing a custom-built waterfront estate, the possibilities are compelling.
Buyer to independently verify all aspects of the property, including existing improvements, potential buildable square footage, development feasibility, dock construction, zoning, setbacks, and all required permits and approvals with the City of Newport Beach and other applicable governmental agencies. All development potential is subject to buyer investigation and approval.
