1319 Santa Barbara Dr, Newport Beach, CA 92660

This is the most unique and desirable location in the Meridian in Newport Center. This highly upgraded, never-lived-in, single-level residence occupies the singular position that affords these sweeping fairway and ocean views - as well as entry and exit without use of an elevator. The clean, light and sophisticated interiors include designer finishes and upgrades throughout. The corner location (again quite rare for this community) is flooded with light and ocean breezes, and opens to views on three sides. Substantial improvements include hand-finished white oak floors, imported Carrara marble, custom automated window coverings, whole-house A/V-Lutron-Sonos installations, an upgraded kitchen with SubZero wine refrigerator and Wolfe range, a redesigned marble-lined master bath with Toto commodes, and many other fine appointments. The oversize terrace complements the spacious main entertaining areas and "Great Room" which it adjoins and opens to through retractable walls of glass. The Meridian also provides 24-hour secured access and concierge services. For those who desire a pristine new residence with the convenience of such a setting, yet do not want to sacrifice the livability of walk-in, walk-out access to all the amenities of Newport Center and Fashion Island (across the street), this rare opportunity is not to be missed.
