1. At Newport Coast, spectacular is an understatement 

   6 Midsummer, Newport Coast, CA 92657

   Asking price featured in the 2023 article: $69.8 million

   

   If you’re shelling out close to $70 million on a home, you expect 24-carat features and amenities throughout. And this newly constructed, custom-designed,  15,500-square-foot estate securely perched on the top of this gated Crystal Cove community surpasses all measures. 

   Location and views. Begin with the most desirable of locations, where there are unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, Newport Harbor, Palos Verdes, all the way to Los Angeles, nearly 50 miles away. To maximize the peerless views, 3,640 square feet of decks and loggias were built around the ultra-luxurious 7-bedroom, 15-bath mansion.

   10-car garage doubles as party central. The custom home rises two stories above a 10-car basement garage, accessible via an indoor elevator. The climate-controlled garage is a showroom in itself, covering 3,725 square feet featuring coffered ceilings, overhead spotlights trained on a car turntable, and more than enough bells and whistles to turn it into an event space or private club.  

   A dome of spectacular proportions. There is nothing understated about this turnkey property. Every plush detail is designed to take your breath away. An elaborate foyer draws your eye to a spectacular glass dome bursting with slender rays of light. It’s said to be the only glass dome of this magnitude in a residence in the United States, which speaks of over-the-top luxury.

   Amenities galore. Expect formal and informal living rooms, a grand formal dining room, an expansive wine cellar, a state-of-the-art theater, an entertaining bar, a Life Fitness gym, and a zen massage room with steam shower, dry and wet saunas. Aside from the standard luxuries, the primary suite has its own kitchenette. Outside, there’s a custom mosaic pool and sculpture gardens.

2. ​At Laguna Beach, indulge in a true resort experience

   11 Montage Way, Laguna Beach, CA, 92651

   Asking price featured in the 2023 article: $39.7 million

   

   This contemporary luxury estate boasts a front-row seat at the renowned Montage Laguna Beach Resort. As you can see, the ocean views are nothing short of incredible. 

   Outdoor living. In fact, to make the most of its location and to double-down on California’s signature indoor-outdoor style of living, this 9,305-square foot single-family home has been remodeled in 2022 so that bedrooms, bathrooms, the living room, and the kitchen open up to an outdoor oasis. It’s equipped with a brand new glass fire pit, outdoor shower, outdoor kitchen, pizza oven, sparkling pool, and spa. Outdoor amenities are directly accessible from the primary suite.

   En suite all the way. Large walls of glass add to the open feeling, including an expansive, central skylight designed to flood the 2-story atrium with natural light. All 5 bedrooms have en suite spa-like facilities.

   Living spaces on the upper level include a glass fireplace, a temperature-controlled wine wall, and a chef’s kitchen of your dreams. Descend to the lower level via a dramatic floating staircase to access the full bar, home theater, gaming space, a spacious and luxurious home office with a full bath, and a glass-encased commercial wine cellar. The outdoor courtyard boasts a one-story waterfall.

   Concierge services. The 5-bedroom, 6-bath property is only one of 13 homes at the resort with ownership privileges, including unheard of access to the Montage concierge, housekeeping, and room service! Plus, it’s just steps away from the crystal clear waters of the Pacific Ocean.

3. At Newport Beach, explore oceanfront indoor-outdoor living 

   7206 W Oceanfront, Newport Beach, CA 92663

   Asking price featured in the 2023 article: $6,995,000 

   

   This profile features a 3-bedroom, 3-bath beachfront home with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina, and stunning sunsets. A spacious deck, a loggia, and a brick patio create several places to enjoy the oceanfront setting.

   Indoor-outdoor living. The living room of this 2-story home opens to areas that are the essence of California indoor-outdoor living. Picture roomy outdoor seating, a firepit, and after-dinner family games or great conversations with friends and neighbors happening well into the night – all with the sound of the surf keeping rhythmic time.

   Charming and traditional. Not one to emulate sleek beach homes, this 2,888-square-foot luxury property is done in a charming Traditional style. Begin with the grand, wrought iron staircase that greets you upon entering. The chef’s kitchen, equipped with high-end appliances, features exquisite cabinetry and granite countertops. The living room has coffered ceilings and custom built-ins.

   Also worth noting: a family room with a fireplace on the second floor, a 2-car garage, and his-and-hers walk in closets in the primary suite
