A rare offering, this single-family home is perfectly suited for elegant entertaining, relaxed island living, and multi-generational flexibility.
Beyond the classic Dutch door entry, an expansive living room welcomes you with abundant natural light and graceful French doors that open to a serene front patio—ideal for morning coffee or evening gatherings. The open-concept layout flows seamlessly into a sophisticated dining area and a chef’s kitchen crafted for both beauty and function.
The kitchen is a true showpiece, appointed with a Thermador range, built-in refrigerator, wine refrigerator, center island, and breakfast bar—all framed by beadboard accents and custom cabinetry that exude understated luxury. A spacious butler’s pantry with an additional refrigerator and extensive storage enhances the home’s practicality while maintaining a refined aesthetic.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers a tranquil sanctuary with dual outdoor spaces—one balcony overlooking picturesque Amethyst Avenue and a second, more expansive terrace with west-facing exposure for sunset views. The spa-inspired en-suite bath features a soaking tub, separate glass-enclosed shower, and a generous walk-in closet. Two additional upstairs bedrooms each include en-suite baths and walk-in closets, offering privacy and comfort.
A private guest suite above the garage includes its own entrance, full kitchen, living area, and a spacious bedroom with en-suite bath—perfect for hosting extended family, accommodating guests, or creating an inspiring work-from-home retreat.
With rare parking for up to five vehicles—including a two-car garage and three additional driveway spaces—this property is a true gem on the Island. Sophisticated, spacious, and effortlessly livable, this exceptional home offers the ultimate in coastal luxury just moments from the shops, restaurants, and waterfront of Balboa Island.
