Home of the Day: ‘Dynasty’-style digs on Newport Coast
As one of the few properties permitted a 35-foot height allowance in Newport Coast, this French Chateau-style estate is literally one of the highest-profile homes in the area. A classical stone fountain and dramatically arched doors lead to a grand entry hall with 30-foot cathedral ceilings, crystal chandeliers and custom stone work. Sculpted fireplaces, architectural details and an infinity pool overlooking the Pacific all say luxury.
