Tucked into one of Dover Shores' most sought-after streets, this two-story Newport Beach residence has been thoughtfully renovated, its custom cabinetry and warm, tonal color palette carrying a distinct, design-forward identity through every room. Board-and-batten siding, all-new black-framed windows, and a black double-door entry give the exterior a clean, coastal contemporary profile, complemented by a new driveway and landscaping. Inside, a soft palette of clay-toned plaster, greige, and natural wood grounds the home in quiet, earthy sophistication. A dramatic living room rises beneath a vaulted, beamed white oak ceiling, its plaster accent wall and fireplace anchoring a space that opens to an metal-and-oak staircase. A second, more intimate family room offers its own fireplace framed by custom built-in shelving, set beneath a white oak shiplap ceiling that carries into the kitchen and breakfast nook, with bifold doors leading out to the backyard. The kitchen centers on a rift-cut, walnut-stained oak island with veined stone countertops and a matching backsplash, framed by a statement plaster range hood, reeded glass-front display cabinetry, and a pot filler above the range. Just off the kitchen, a curved built-in banquette forms a breakfast nook anchored by a walnut bar station with a wine cooler tucked behind cabinetry. The primary suite unfolds beneath a vaulted ceiling, with bifold doors opening directly to the backyard for easy indoor-outdoor flow. Plaster-finished walls carry into a spa-style bath, where a reeded, black-framed glass shower divider, charcoal zellige tile, and veined stone mosaic flooring surround a soaking tub tucked beneath a tiled ledge. A generous walk-in closet completes the retreat. Three additional baths each carry their own character: a main-floor hall bath with vintage floral wallpaper, beadboard wainscoting, and a console-style sink over basketweave-patterned tile; an upstairs bath with penny-round mosaic flooring, champagne bronze fixtures, and a walnut vanity beneath striped green zellige tile; and a powder room finished with a sculptural concrete-style vanity and a smart tankless toilet. Three bedrooms sit on the main level alongside the primary, one flexible enough to serve as a home office, while two additional bedrooms and a private den share the second floor. Even the laundry room carries the home's design sensibility, finished with a fireclay sink and statement wallpaper that elevate an everyday space, alongside an attached two-car garage. Beyond the family room's bifold doors, the backyard offers a built-in BBQ station and patio dining framed by mature palms and lush landscaping. Recent upgrades include a new presidential-style roof and updated HVAC systems. The home is just minutes from Mariners Elementary, Newport Harbor High School, the Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve, the shops and restaurants along 17th Street, and the Newport waterfront.

You can build a home. You cannot build this lot. On the bluff above the Back Bay in Dover Shores, 1542 Galaxy Drive is 18,321 square feet of land - approximately 93 feet wide and nearly 200 feet deep - with panoramic, unobstructed views across Upper Newport Bay to the bluffs and the Newport Center skyline. Here, the land is the luxury. What lies in the sightline is the Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve: protected open space of water, wetlands, bluffs, and sky. Morning fog over the marsh, egrets along the shallows, golden evening light across the water - the everyday backdrop of life here. The land is where the story begins. The 1964 residence on it is an opportunity to reimagine the site, and a complete design vision has already been created by architect Rory Foubister, with interiors by Lindye Galloway and construction envisioned by Well Done Builders. That concept is conceived as a reveal. From the street, almost nothing - a low stone wall, olive trees, a screened gate. Inside, a courtyard opens to the sky around a mature olive tree. Beyond it, the house gives way to a wall of glass, pool and lawn, and the whole bay. Envisioned at approximately 8000 square feet - five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a gym and wellness center, a subterranean level with car turntable, and an ADU or executive office. The sequence is only possible because of the depth. Nearly 200 feet buys a courtyard at the heart of the plan, real separation between arrival, entertaining, and retreat, and outdoor rooms that work as rooms. For a buyer with a different vision, the opportunity is equally compelling. The value is not one set of plans. It is the scale, proportion, and setting of the land itself. Dover Shores is the quiet side of Newport - wide curving streets, mature landscaping, and a generation of new custom homes rising above the Back Bay. Launch a kayak at dawn, run the Back Bay Loop Trail from the edge of the neighborhood, and reach Newport Harbor, the beaches, Corona del Mar, and Fashion Island in minutes. Homes can be remodeled. Homes can be replaced. What cannot be recreated is the land beneath them, the scale around them, and a setting like this. APN 117-663-08. Existing residence built 1964. Plans and renderings are conceptual, subject to change and to governmental approvals. Buyer to independently verify all dimensions, square footage, views, development potential, permits, approvals, schools, and other details.

Situated on a nearly 11,000 square foot lot in one of Newport Beach's most sought after enclaves, 1431 Antigua Way offers something the current market almost never provides: room to decide. Renovate within the existing footprint and preserve the scale and setting that make the Dover Shores area distinct, or start from scratch and build to your own specifications. Both paths lead to the same outcome, a home positioned in a neighborhood that holds its value regardless of where the broader market moves. The existing home makes the first option easy to picture. It is a single-level floor plan with 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, filled with natural light throughout. The kitchen opens directly to the family room, and two gas fireplaces anchor the main living spaces. The primary suite runs expansive, with a jetted tub and a walk-in closet. This is a home you can move into and enjoy as is, on your own timeline, while you decide what comes next. The Dover Shores area has always been about location before anything else. You sit minutes from the Back Bay's walking and biking trails, top-rated schools, and the shopping and dining along Newport's coast, with the beach a short drive in one direction and the bay in the other. This is a neighborhood people buy into and stay in, and lots of this size behind these streets do not come up often. The value here is in the land and the address. What you build on it is up to you.
