On an island where the standard lot runs ninety feet deep, 809 Via Lido Soud sits on one hundred five; an extra-deep parcel on the coveted 800 block of the Soud side, with something even rarer beyond the property line: your own private sandy beach, a privilege only select Soud-side frontage enjoys. Directly south-facing, the home holds sunlight from first coffee to final pour, opening onto the open sailing channel - no moorings crowding the view, just the daily theater of junior sailors and weekend regattas playing out against the Newport Harbor Yacht Club across the water. Four levels rise from the sand, each with sweeping 180-degree bay views - a profile current codes make effectively impossible to replicate. This is not a house that can be built again. Reimagined over the past year in a comprehensive remodel with new roof, electrical, plumbing, zoned HVAC, windows, doors, and flooring, the residence pairs its refresh with 1984 bones of unusual substance: poured concrete floors throughout for remarkable quiet between levels, a lower level encased in concrete on every surface, and steel-reinforced upper structures engineered to float the primary suite and rooftop deck above it all. The kitchen is fitted with a full suite of Thermador appliances, PITT open burners set directly into a travertine island with matching backsplash, and a true walk-in pantry. Four en-suite bedrooms are joined by a ground-floor flex suite with full bath - made possible by the lot's rare depth - equally at home as a fifth bedroom, theater, gym, or wine cellar. Five and one-half baths in all. Wood-burning fireplaces warm the living room and primary suite. Automated touchscreen sliders open the bayfront wall to the water; zoned climate control serves every level. At the water's edge, a brand-new Swift Slips dock accommodates a yacht into the sixties (beam to 15'6") plus a second vessel to 43'6", capacity in a class of its own on Lido. Above, a newly added 360 degree view rooftop deck - plumbed with water and power - contrasts bay views with city lights: Fashion Island, Newport Coast, and Saddleback Mountain. Three doors down, a grass pocket park. One block away, the Lido Isle Clubhouse, private swimming beach, yacht club, tennis, and playground; the community life, security, and small-island charm that have made Lido Newport's most beloved address for nearly a century. For the buyer who understands that the truly irreplaceable announces itself only once: 809 Via Lido Soud awaits.

Subject to cancellation of existing escrow. Best development opportunity on the market in Newport Beach. Set high on the cliff with straight-on ocean and harbor views, this is the kind of vantage point that almost never comes available. No angles, no peeking through rooftops, just wide-open water, boats moving through the harbor, and clear-day views all the way to Catalina Island. The two existing structures are a teardown, which is exactly where the opportunity lives. You’re starting clean on one of the most valuable view lots in the area, surrounded by new high-end builds pushing values higher. Build up and you unlock multiple levels of unobstructed ocean and harbor views, plus a front-row seat to the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade. Opportunities with this kind of view, positioning and future value rarely hit the market and are gone quickly. (Previous days on market INCORRECT).

Completed in 2024, the residence commands approximately 104 feet of waterfront frontage and offers an exceptional private dock configuration capable of accommodating a yacht of up to approximately 130 feet alongside an additional 70-foot vessel, or multiple smaller boats, creating one of the most significant private boating opportunities available in Newport Harbor. Designed as a bold modern architectural statement, the home pairs dramatic scale with refined coastal living, featuring clean horizontal lines, expansive waterfront terraces, upper-level balconies and walls of glass that maximize its commanding harbor position. Disappearing floor-to-ceiling Fleetwood door systems open the main living spaces entirely to the water, creating a seamless transition to the broad entertaining terrace and framing uninterrupted views across the harbor. Expansive skylights flood the interiors with natural light, while sculptural stonework, custom millwork and carefully curated finishes create an atmosphere that is sophisticated, artistic and highly individual.

Some properties check boxes. A rare few rewrite them entirely. 2910 Lafayette Avenue is the latter: a bayfront architectural residence in Newport Beach's Cannery Village offering what the market simply does not: a private 31-foot boat slip, parking for six, a flexible waterfront ground floor with commercial signage rights, and a level of precision that earned a feature in Architectural Digest. This newly completed residence is the result of a multi-year collaboration between Anders Lasater Architects, Prestige Builders, and interior designer Ohara Davies-Gaetano. The quality is unambiguous. It is the property's rare combination of features, however, that places it in a category entirely on its own. A private 31-foot boat slip sits directly off the ground floor. Six vehicles park on-site, three in a secured garage and three additional spaces, an almost unheard-of provision for bayfront Newport. The flexible waterfront ground-floor space, uniquely zoned to permit commercial signage, functions equally as a world-class private office, guest quarters, a gallery, or any combination of the three. With Lido Marina Village's cafés, boutiques, beaches, and weekend markets just steps away, the walkability here is exceptional. Inside, floor-to-ceiling Otiima glass dissolves the boundary between the interior and Newport Harbor. Slatted white oak paneling, hand-troweled plaster walls, soft stone underfoot, and custom lighting throughout. The chef's kitchen is anchored by a sculptural leathered-stone island with fully integrated Thermador appliances and a concealed pantry. A private elevator serves all levels. The second-floor terrace is outfitted for al fresco entertaining with a full outdoor kitchen. Two bedrooms include a spa-caliber primary suite and a penthouse lounge with panoramic harbor views. The ground-floor bayfront gallery, complete with a wine wall, integrated AV, beverage center, and two concealed Murphy beds, opens directly to the dock and a sculptural outdoor shower. The finish level throughout reflects a standard of precision more commonly associated with a custom superyacht than a residential project. For the buyer who has seen everything and is still looking for the one that actually delivers, this is it.
