1706 E Ocean Boulevard

Some locations simply can’t be replicated. Set on the sunny side of Ocean Boulevard near the coveted tip of the Balboa Peninsula, 1706 E. Ocean Blvd puts one of Newport Beach’s most iconic coastal settings right outside your door. Walk to the sand, The Wedge, and the harbor, or hop on a bike to Balboa Pier and experience everything the Peninsula has to offer.  This distinctive coastal residence makes a memorable first impression with its dramatic A-frame architecture, soaring wood-beamed ceilings, expansive windows, and lush, beautifully landscaped surroundings. A private brick walkway leads through a tranquil garden entry framed by mature trees, tropical plantings, and a classic fountain.  Inside, the inviting living room showcases a vaulted, wood-paneled ceiling with exposed beams, abundant natural light, warm wood accents, and an open staircase that emphasizes the home's airy volume. Large windows bring the greenery indoors, while the thoughtfully styled interiors create a relaxed, comfortable coastal atmosphere.  The home's standout architectural character continues throughout, blending natural materials, generous glazing, and indoor-outdoor appeal. Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully upgraded, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home combines an exceptional location with a versatile two-story layout and a long list of meaningful upgrades. The main level features a bedroom, bath and den, while upstairs is dedicated to an expansive primary retreat with an oversized walk-in closet, the third bedroom, and a large media/flex room provides direct access to your own private balcony with a retractable patio cover.  The kitchen, bathrooms, windows, doors and closets have all been upgraded, while cedar-lined closets add timeless character throughout.  Adding a distinctive touch, the home includes two impressive fish tanks and stained-glass windows offering beautiful visual interest and unique focal points.  The finished 2 car garage goes well beyond the expected and the yard offers a private setting for outdoor entertaining and relaxation.  Meticulously cared for and positioned in one of Newport Beach’s most desirable coastal enclaves, this is the kind of home where the real luxury is the lifestyle—morning walks along the ocean, afternoons at the beach, bike rides around the Peninsula, and sunsets just steps from home. This is truly a rare opportunity to own a home with exceptional character, architectural appeal, and a truly special coastal setting.
