1534 Santiago

Property Overview
Nestled in the highly sought-after Dover Shores neighborhood of Newport Beach, 1534 Santiago Drive is a rare offering where 1967 mid-century design meets the precision and performance of a 2025 rebuild—thoughtfully modernized while preserving the integrity of its original architecture. Originally designed by renowned architect Robert C. Peterson, this residence is a true “blast from the past,” reimagined for today’s lifestyle, blending timeless lines, natural light, and seamless indoor-outdoor living with an extensive, no-expense-spared renovation. Behind its refined facade lies a home that has been comprehensively upgraded at every level—from new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and smart home integration to custom finishes and curated materials throughout. The result is a property that lives like new construction, yet retains the character and soul that simply cannot be replicated. Spanning approximately 2,900 square feet, the home now offers three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a loft, and generous storage, all thoughtfully reconfigured for modern living. Set on a 10,100 square foot lot, the outdoor experience is equally elevated, highlighted by a custom oversized spool designed for both relaxation and entertaining, along with curated landscaping and multiple gathering spaces. This is more than a home—it’s a trophy property, a one-of-one offering where architectural heritage and modern innovation converge. Opportunities like this are increasingly rare, as few homes maintain their original design integrity while being elevated to today’s standards with such care and detail.
