177 Shorecliff Road Located on an expansive oceanfront parcel of nearly three-quarters of an acre in the private community of Shorecliffs, this extraordinary residence includes more than 11, 000 square feet of living area on four levels. Enveloped by mature seaside gardens, and graced with a private oceanfront pool, this home is among the largest of both oceanfront homes and oceanfront sites in Orange County. Never to be replicated, the house was built from the ground up in 2008 and recently underwent a two-year renovation. The result is a thoughtfully updated interior that features tasteful modern moments integrated into a design that is still warm and inviting. Overall, the house is now light, open and takes full advantage of the breathtaking ocean and cove views. Set above the only private sandy beach in Shorecliffs, the views range from the cove below, to Arch Rock, across to the channel entrance, and finally to Catalina Island on the horizon. From first light in the morning through to sunset, the views are simply stunning. The house itself, never to be approved again under current limitations, provides all the spaces of a proper home – something you will almost never find on the open market here. There is a nearly full-floor master suite with an expansive private oceanfront terrace, sitting room, as well as his and hers baths and dressing areas. Four additional bedroom suites (one in the form of a guest house) complete the private spaces. A formal living room and dining room are complemented by several oceanfront terraces and a private fireside courtyard, a large family room, an impressive home theater, a well-appointed kitchen with breakfast room, a rooftop terrace, a handsome paneled study, and a seaside entertaining level with a gym, bar, and a bonus opening to a large oceanfront terrace with pool. An elevator and an eight-car garage complete the offering. There is also a private pathway to the beach with direct sand access. Set back from the street for maximum privacy, there is little anyone can see of the home from the front exterior. However, once one comes inside a series of impressive spaces unfold as they lead from the four-story entry hall to the oceanfront bluff upon which the home rests. Shorecliffs is situated near to the southern edge of Corona del Mar, though this location enjoys easy walkability to the village and miles of beaches, as well as immediate and unfettered access to the village and all the prized amenities of this area.
