Commanding panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, Newport Harbor, and the famed Pelican Hill Golf Course, this stately French palatial manor was exquisitely reimagined in 2025, bringing a fresh sense of modern sophistication to its timeless European architecture. Set on a 13,155± sq. ft. parcel within the prestigious guard-gated enclave of Pelican Crest, the 8,367± sq. ft. residence showcases exceptional craftsmanship and an uncompromising selection of materials throughout. A dramatic two-story foyer, illuminated by an antique chandelier, introduces interiors layered with natural limestone and white oak herringbone flooring, hand-brushed Venetian plaster, Moka Creme honed stone in all wet areas, and bespoke solid brass hardware finished in oil-rubbed bronze or polished nickel. Beyond the grand staircase, gracious formal living and dining rooms feature custom fireplaces, while a richly appointed wood-paneled library offers an intimate retreat. The sun-filled family room, also anchored by a fireplace, flows directly into the gourmet kitchen. Designed as both a culinary showpiece and gathering space, the kitchen is appointed with Calacatta Vagli marble surfaces, custom cabinetry, dual refrigerators, professional-grade appliances, and a built-in upholstered banquette with custom breakfast table positioned to enjoy the ocean views. The opulent primary suite features a fireplace, custom-designed closet, and spa-inspired bath with an ocean-view soaking tub and architectural glass-block accents that welcome natural light. Five additional bedroom suites provide generous accommodations, while a tiered theater room, activity and fitness spaces, sauna, and steam room further enhance the home's amenities. A subterranean seven-car garage completes the interior offering. Extensive improvements include a new roof, new HVAC system, all-new plumbing connectors, and two new water heaters. Outdoors, new stucco and roofing complement lush entertaining spaces centered around a saltwater pool and spa and a BBQ kitchen with natural stone countertops—all framed by the estate's extraordinary coastal setting. A rare combination of grand European architecture, thoughtfully reimagined interiors, and commanding views, this Pelican Crest estate presents Newport Coast living at its most refined.
