Welcome home to 707 St. James Road in Newport's most desired neighborhood -- Cliffhaven. This exquisite 4 Bedroom, 2 3/4 bath home on a 9,100 sq ft lot is situated on a quiet street and backs to the Nature Center. Walk through the front Dutch door, and soaring cathedral ceilings welcome you to the light and open floorplan. A newly designed fireplace with a bookcase and meticulously crafted mantle with handcrafted tiles and a Carrara hearth is at the heart of the home along with the kitchen, built-in work station / desk and the family room which are all drenched in natural light thanks to the skylights throughout. The large master bedroom overlooks the lush backyard, and the recently remodeled master bath is bright and cheerful with white tile and glass blocks. A new furnace and ducting were installed in 2004. Also new are the water heater, wood windows, and French doors. Host friends and family in expansive peaceful and private three-tiered backyard that offers a new 2 level deck, English-inspired stone hardscape with built-in firepit, jacuzzi, and lots of mature trees provide privacy and peace. This home is close to all the amazing things Newport Beach has to offer; surfing, beach, bay, biking, dining, yet secluded on an intimate street with a unique community beach vibe, and old school American charm.
