Orange County is no stranger to big sales, but a brand-new listing in Newport Beach could set a new record should it get close to asking. The waterfront home boasts six bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths across 3,600 square feet of living space—with an asking price of $74 million.
The current record of $70 million for a residential home in the O.C. was set back in 2021.
Located on the westerly side of Harbor Island (Newport Harbor’s most sought-after private island locale), this stately period home has been lovingly kept for nearly one hundred years—held by generations of one family for nearly as long. The original house, was built circa 1937.
Towering eucalyptus trees frame the colonial-style residence. The home fronts on a large brick terrace that adjoins an expansive green lawn that spans two oversized lots and runs to the water’s edge. There is also a private boat dock for several yachts up to one hundred feet in length that completes the property.
This offering is comprised of two, independent lots (numbers 20 and 21); each fifty feet in width. Combined they offer 100 feet of frontage.
Robert Giem of Compass and Evan Corkett of Coldwell Banker Realty hold the listing.
