Situated on a prized front-row lot, this Pelican Crest showpiece estate was newly refreshed in late 2023 and enjoys unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, Newport Harbor, Pelican Hill Golf Course, spectacular sunsets, and twinkling evening lights. Bespoke transitional interiors of nearly 14,200 square feet provide unsurpassed comfort and hosts seven bedrooms and twelve baths. Authentically detailed architecture, romantic archways, columns, domes, and Palladian windows work in tandem to create first impressions that will last a lifetime. A phenomenal entry with custom glass and iron door sets the scene and introduces airy galleries, a library, formal living room, and lavish guest suite complete with a private sitting room. Awaiting at the heart of the home is a two-story oval foyer which reveals a dramatic staircase, formal dining room for both grand-scale and intimate entertaining, and a spacious great room with six sets of French doors that open onto a fireplace-warmed loggia. Grandeur is elevated to lofty new heights with custom lighting, multiple interior and exterior staircases, impressive fireplaces, and one-of-a-kind flooring. Catering to professional and amateur chef's alike, the gourmet-inspired kitchen complements timeless style with a butler's pantry, center island, and a breakfast area. From romantic evenings at home and impromptu gatherings to formal affairs that are destined for the social pages, the generous floorplan offers three service bars and accommodates every occasion with style and sophistication. An elevator serves all four levels, including a basement with an eight-car garage, game room, gym, sauna, and steam shower. Take the stairs or elevator down to the sub-basement where a 34' indoor swimming pool is destined to be a favorite place for all who visit. Captivating ocean vistas embellish the owner's suite, where a large view terrace, sitting area, fireplace, dual walk-in closets, separate vanities, and a glamorous soaking tub fulfill the residence's promise of delivering uncompromising luxury. Lushly landscaped grounds recall the beauty of an exclusive Mediterranean resort, where graceful palms, broad lawns, and sunny patios are joined by a sublime ocean-view swimming pool and spa. Set just moments from championship golf courses, five-star resorts, high-end retail, and upscale dining, 14 Channel Vista represents a truly rare offering.
