1201 Dolphin Terrace

Corona Del Mar, CA 92625

From Irvine Terraces most prized front row, this Brandon Architects estate is composed to hold Newport Harbor, Catalina Island, city lights, and the evening horizon in uninterrupted frame. Approximately 7,735 square feet of living space unfolds with the precision of custom architecture, balancing volume, materiality, and sightlines across five bedroom suites, a private office, and six-and-two-half baths. Inside, 11.5-foot ceilings and wide-plank white oak floors establish a warm architectural cadence, complemented by custom stonework, linear fireplaces, rich millwork, and tactile finishes that reward close attention. Daily life centers around an open great room, dining area, and chefs kitchen, where Gaggenau appliances, a Quartzite-clad island, and an adjoining prep kitchen create an understated command center for hosting. Floor-to-ceiling Renlita doors recede completely, dissolving the threshold between interior living spaces, outdoor terraces, and the harbor beyond. The primary suite includes an expansive view terrace, sleek fireplace, spa-caliber bath with soaking tub and steam shower, and a boutique-style walk-in wardrobe finished in suede and leather. A floating staircase beneath a skylight, framed by glass railings and sculptural lighting, creates an elegant vertical connection between the main living level and the spaces below. On the lower level, a secondary primary suite, guest accommodations, and a grand lounge extend the residences hospitality with ease. Wellness, cinema, wine, and entertaining each occupy their own considered moments: a private gym and studio, state-of-the-art screening room, full wet bar, elevator, four-car garage, and appx. 1,300-bottle climate-controlled wine cellar secured with biometric access. Beyond the glass, an infinity-edge pool and spa, built-in BBQ kitchen, and layered lounge spaces create a resort-like edge to the composition, oriented toward sunset and water. Discreetly integrated technology, anchored by a Savant smart home system, brings lighting, climate, security, and entertainment into seamless control without disrupting the design. Additional highlights include a laundry room on each level, two EV chargers with dedicated meter, alarm system, and owned solar. Rarely does a Newport Beach residence combine this front-row position, architectural pedigree, and amenity program with such composure. Here, coastal living is not simply framed by the view; it is organized around it.
