Lido Isle, CA
4,180 Sq. Ft. Lot
5,348 Sq. Ft. – 2 story plus basement

This custom home is designed for a 40 foot wide premier bay front site adjacent to a small passive park on one of the islands in Newport Bay.  Access to the Italianate architectural character house is through a side courtyard that leads to the entry rotunda.  The home has expanses of glass walls that open to the bayside decks and indoor / outdoor entertainment areas oriented to the private dock and water views.  The upper level is accessed by the elevator or via the dramatic skylighted staircase and contains the master bedroom suite with an attached retreat and home office.  Two additional bedroom suites and the laundry room are located on the upper level, with a maid or guest bedroom and bath suite downstairs.  In order to increase the size of the home and comply with community restrictions for height and massing, a walk-out basement was included to provide additional areas for exercise and casual entertaining, a wine cellar, and storage.  Stairs and a bridge access a boat dock or lead down to the bayside beach.
