Property Description
Located within Corona del Mars Spyglass Hill enclave, 53 Montecito is a newly constructed estate capturing approximately 270 views of Newport Harbor, the Pacific coastline, Back Bay, city lights, and mountain ranges. Commanding an elevated corner parcel with no direct neighboring structures on three sides, the residence enjoys expanded view corridors where horizon, harbor, and sky converge. Spanning approximately 7,584 square feet on a 15,740-square-foot lot, the six-bedroom, eight-bathroom home was conceived and executed as a primary residence with architectural expression and engineering precision prioritized. Arrival unfolds through a 60-foot gallery with 22-foot ceilings, aligned through walls of glass to the infinity-edge pool and Pacific horizon beyond. Floating steel-and-glass stairs, a living moss installation, and water features anchor the space. Architectural concrete panels, white oak detailing, and uninterrupted ceiling planes form a refined presentation. The great room opens to the outdoors through a 35-foot pocketing glass wall and zero-post corner systems. Entertaining spaces flow to reflecting pools, fire elements, and outdoor living areas framed in cedar and concrete, oriented toward sunset views. At the center of the home, the kitchen is anchored by a backlit Cristallo quartzite waterfall island. Pitt cooking systems, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, cabinetry, a Cristallo quartzite wine wall, and a secondary prep kitchen combine presence with performance. Whole-home water filtration and reverse osmosis systems serve key fixtures and refrigeration. Two primar
