Sleek berth on Carnation Cove
This modern Corona del Mar home is geared to those who want to live on the coast.
The house is on a bay-front lot with about 40 feet on the water and views of Newport Harbor. The home also has a waterfront patio with an infinity pool and a spa, and it has a private 40-foot boat dock. (Many of the docks in the area are shared by two or three homes.) And the home has a sunny exposure, with head-on sunset views.
The house is in Carnation Cove, where there are about 25 homes. The cove is the closest one of several to the mouth of the harbor.
About this house: It isn’t brand new, but it has many new features as well as a distinctively modern look. It was built in 2002 and is owned by a recording artist who is moving on.
There is a mix of home ages in the neighborhood, although it has gotten to the point that even some 20-year-old houses are now considered tear-downs. A newly built home around the corner from this one sold recently for $8 million.
Asking price: $6,695,000
Size: The house has five bedrooms and 5 1/2 bathrooms in 5,000 square feet. It sits on an 8,000-plus-square-foot lot.
Features: The home has stainless-steel kitchen appliances, a temperature-controlled wine room and a “smart house” electrical system for programming lights, security and other needs. There are dark wood floors upstairs and stone floors downstairs.
Where: Corona del Mar
