Situated on an approximately 10,000 square foot lot, this property offers remarkable privacy and space in a location where homes are rarely available. Positioned mid-curve on a horseshoe street, the only traffic is typically residents — creating a peaceful setting ideal for children at play and true neighborhood living. Somerset Lane is widely regarded as one of the premier interior streets in the community.

Adding to its appeal, the property offers peekaboo views toward Fashion Island, further enhancing its coastal Newport lifestyle feel. Surrounded by pride of ownership and coastal charm, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence offers timeless character and endless potential. The home features a generous open layout highlighted by soaring vaulted ceilings in the living room and entry, creating an airy and welcoming first impression. Three fireplaces add warmth and architectural interest throughout the living spaces. The spacious primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with its own fireplace, a large primary bathroom, and a generous walk-in closet. A convenient downstairs bedroom offers flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or a home office. Additional features include an interior laundry room and a spacious three-car garage. Located within the award-winning Mariners Elementary School district and just moments from the scenic Back Bay trails, neighborhood parks, world-class beaches, Balboa Island, and premier shopping and dining, this property seamlessly combines location, privacy, and long-term value. Whether you envision a thoughtful remodel or a custom ground-up build, the possibilities here are truly endless — an opportunity to create a dream home on one of the best and most highly coveted streets in all of Dover Shores area.
