Step inside and feel it immediately — the warm glow of walnut plank floors, the soft coastal light filtering through raffia blinds, the quiet elegance of a home designed and lived in with extraordinary intention. Nestled within the prestigious hills of Newport Coast, this charming and distinctive corner lot residence is a rare offering within the St. Michel community — a home that feels as though it belongs on the pages of a design magazine. In fact, it already has been. Professionally designed by Barclay Butera senior designer Sudi Jelveh and featured in a design publication, the home showcases two decades of meticulous curation and timeless style. Ralph Lauren draperies in Schumacher fabric hang from bamboo rods throughout — a signature detail that perfectly captures the essence of the home: coastal yet refined, relaxed yet elevated, and completely one of a kind. Provenza walnut plank floors, new Karastan wool carpeting, raffia seagrass wallpaper, wainscoting, crown moulding, and solid core doors complete a thoughtful design story that unfolds beautifully throughout the residence. The chef’s kitchen features a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, Calacatta Gold porcelain countertops replaced in 2026, and white shaker cabinetry extending to the ceiling. Opening seamlessly from the kitchen, the family room is anchored by a Carrera marble fireplace hearth, creating a warm and inviting gathering space. Currently configured as a four-bedroom home with a generous upstairs bonus room featuring built-in cabinetry, the layout easily lends itself to a fifth bedroom conversion. From upstairs, enjoy snow-capped mountain views in the winter, sparkling city lights year-round, and Disneyland fireworks illuminating the horizon on summer evenings. Residents of St. Michel enjoy two resort-style pools, tennis and pickleball courts, and parks just steps away. Ideally located near Fashion Island, Crystal Cove, Pelican Hill Golf Club, and world-class beaches, the home also benefits from proximity to highly regarded Newport Coast Elementary School and Corona del Mar High School.
With city light and mountain views, a desirable corner lot, and beautifully designed outdoor spaces ideal for al fresco dining, weekend gatherings, and cultivating your own organic garden — this residence offers an exceptional setting for the very best of Newport Coast living. Some homes simply have to be felt to be understood.
