Tucked away on a cul-de-sac in the gated community of The Pointe, this upscale home offers carefully considered upgrades that shine, with a kitchen remodel in 2020 that brought luxe style, and a sophisticated revamp in the primary bedroom creating extra spacious closets. Sculptural landscaping, with a private front courtyard offering a touch of European style and low-maintenance artificial turf. A spacious 3,300 s.f. +/- floor plan features 4-beds, 5-baths, and fine interior flourishes. Double-height ceilings create an impressive formal living and dining area, with a new stone fireplace surround, and 3 sets of French doors opening to tranquil views of a cascading waterfall. The family room features a built-in speaker system and opens to a remodeled eat-in kitchen where stunning upgrades include a massive quartz-topped island, on-trend tile backsplash, farmhouse sink, top-line appliances, and luxury Provenza floors. Downstairs is completed by a laundry room, powder room, and a guest suite with a fantastic hidden closet disguised by built-in cabinets, allowing flexible use as an office. Upstairs is a large open loft that offers additional living space and features a new handcrafted media wall with a built-in workstation. The primary bedroom is an exquisite retreat, with a fireplace and to-die-for dual closets that offer custom storage, a marble-topped island, and backlit accessory display. Completely remodeled, the ensuite is filled with upscale luxury found in marble tile floors, finish cabinet top vanity, a soaking tub, and a soothing rain shower. Two additional bedrooms have window seat alcoves and curved ceilings, with one room offering an ensuite bath. Backing to the canyon (with no rear neighbor), sunset skies and canyon views create a private backyard that's made for entertaining; with a fire pit patio and a BBQ kitchen that offers bar seating and views of illuminated city vistas, and a pool and spa upgraded by a flowing waterfall. Additional upgrades include new flooring throughout, all new stone fireplace surrounds, custom built-ins, wrought iron stairway railings, new bathroom counters and fixtures, and a Tesla charger. The Pointe is a gated HOA community set in the Newport Mesa Unified School District and is nearby to the amenities of Newport Coast and Newport Ridge, with a huge park, tot lot, sports courts, and tennis courts. Minutes away from freeways, beaches, and the upscale shopping and dining of Fashion Island.
