About this home

Experience the allure of Newport Beach waterfront living at 605 36th Street, where distinctive architecture, rich natural finishes, and shimmering canal views create an inviting coastal retreat. Designed by architect Bradford C. Smith and extensively remodeled in 2015, this custom residence offers approximately 2,348 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Reclaimed oak beams, limestone accents, polished concrete floors, and American oak hardwood flooring blend rustic warmth with contemporary sophistication. At the heart of the home, a spacious great room anchored by a striking stone fireplace flanked by two custom dry bars, opens through disappearing pocket doors to an exceptional waterfront entertaining area. Custom decking, a built-in BBQ, and a large cozy fire pit set the stage for sunset cocktails, alfresco dining, and relaxed evenings beside the water. A private dock accommodating a boat up to 32 feet, places the beauty and recreation of Newport Harbor just steps away. The beautifully appointed chef's kitchen features Neolith countertops, stainless steel appliances, a Wolf built-in range, dual sinks, an ice maker, and textured limestone walls. An adjoining dining area offers a welcoming gathering space with an effortless connection to the great room and outdoor setting. A versatile main-level bedroom and a bathroom with a floor-to-ceiling tiled shower provide added flexibility. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful waterfront escape with a custom stone fireplace, walk-in closet, and covered balcony, enhanced by warm wood-paneled walls and ceiling, with breathtaking views of the Newport harbor canals and waterways. Enjoy these views and colorful sunsets before unwinding in the spa-inspired primary bath, complete with dual sinks, a freestanding soaking tub with ceiling rain shower, and a separate walk-in shower with floor to ceiling stone tiles and dual shower heads. Two additional spacious bedrooms, a third full bath, a custom loft (perfect sleeping area for additional guests), and conveniently located laundry complete the upper level. A spacious two-car garage with Western Red Cedar detailing complements the home's distinctive character. Walking distance to sandy beaches, Lido Marina Village, boutique shopping, world famous waterfront restaurants, and endless harbor recreation nearby, this captivating residence brings the epitome of Newport Beach living to your doorstep!
