Sited on the premier street in Irvine Terrace, one of Corona Del Mar's most coveted neighborhoods, 1131 Dolphin Terrace distinguishes itself as a showcase property. Visitors are welcomed into the courtyard by meticulously curated landscaping from Roger's Gardens, guiding them to the custom Honudran mahogany-wrapped double doors that lead to the formal entry. The focal point of the main living area is a floating fireplace extending through an octagonal skylight in the ceiling, flanked by two substantial saltwater fish tanks totaling over 1,100 gallons. A grand picture window spans the width of the living room, offering sweeping 180-degree views of Newport Harbor- considered to be some of the best in the region. Frameless glass doors adorned with hand-carved mahogany Dolphin handles (a nod to the iconic Dolphin Terrace) provide access to the backyard, featuring a custom-designed, zero-edge curved pool and spa, a 25-foot Italian glass wall, and an outdoor cooking area with a fire pit, and steps which lead down to a gated access point on Bayside Drive, allowing for easy access to the world-famous Balboa Island. A private sitting area rests adjacent to the primary bedroom which boasts walls of floor-to-ceiling glass, offering panoramic views out to the jetties of the harbor entrance and another of the three interior fireplaces. The primary bathroom showcases dual vanities, a walk-in shower, jacuzzi tub, heated tile floors, and an expansive walk-in closet. Venetian plaster walls guide you to two additional substantial ensuite bedrooms and a fully outfitted home theater. The dining room, adorned with suede padded walls, provides convenient access to the kitchen, appointed with high-end stainless steel appliances, two built-in sub-zero refrigerators, and custom mahogany cabinetry. An additional ensuite bedroom, currently utilized as an office, a laundry room, and an oversized 2-car garage equipped with a full sound system, round out the features. This impeccably maintained home, with no expense spared, is in pristine condition and has been meticulously cared for by the current owners.
