Unbeatable views await at this four-bedroom upper unit. The bay beach directly across the street allows guests full-on views of not only the bay, but portions of Lido Island, Balboa Island, Linda Isle and the city – plus the mountains, on a clear day. The contemporary living area has large glass sliding doors that provide incredible views. The recently remodeled kitchen and breakfast bar make this property desirable with or without the views! Marina Park and the ocean are just steps away.
LIVING and DINING
The living room takes up the entire front of the home and has a long balcony with chairs, all the better to enjoy sweeping views of the area. Ample comfortable seating, plus wall-mounted flat panel TV provide a comfortable setting for gathering together to share the day experiences. A dining area has a large dining table along with extra seating at the breakfast bar for family meals. The efficient kitchen has plenty of cabinet space for meal preparation. The slider from the living room opens to the patio with table, comfortable seating, and barbecue.
An indoor laundry room has a full-size washer and dryer.
OUTDOOR SPACE
The front deck has seating for enjoying views of the bay and seasonal events such as the Christmas Boat Parade and July 4th fireworks.
The home has a two-car garage.
THE LOCATION
Ten-acre Marina Park, less than a block away, with The Lighthouse Restaurant, an outdoor fitness circuit, basketball courts and picnic area allows visitors to soak up city and bay views. The kids can visit the playground with mini-lighthouse and run through plenty of grassy space. The elementary school is close by as well on the oceanfront. Kids will love the playground, accessible to visitors when school is not in session.
Balboa Village is about twenty minutes away on foot, but worth the trip. Visit Harborside in the historic Balboa Pavilion for amazing views and unbeatable happy hour deals (try the fried calamari!) every day, or seafood in the bayfront dining room. Other local’s favorites are Cruisers, Newport Landing and casual Great Mex. Take the ferry to explore Balboa Island and its many boutiques and eateries or rent a bike and pedal the bike path (boardwalk) to access the entire Peninsula.
Go north to the Newport Pier area with more shops and local eateries. Purchase freshly caught fish direct from the fishermen at the Dory Fleet Fish Market, established in 1891. Seaside Donuts serves up fresh donuts 24/7, and 21 Ocean Front and Fly ‘n’ Fish offer more upscale dining. Charlie’s Chili on McFadden Square is “don’t miss” breakfast spot for many out-of-towners.
The area offers boundless options for family fun!
