Few residences in Newport Beach capture beach, bay and bluff views from a single setting. Positioned above Newport Harbor within AERIE, 183 Carnation Avenue overlooks the Pacific Ocean, the channel, The Wedge, Sand Dollar Cove, harbor activity, sunsets and city lights. Architecture by Brion Jeannette Architecture, construction by Tony Valentine Construction and interiors by Leo Parrella Design Group come together in a single-level residence where every principal room faces the water.
Explore what makes this home so exceptional, from its commanding architectural presence and resort-style amenities to its irreplaceable bayfront setting in one of Southern California's most exclusive enclaves.
A solid mahogany pivot door opens to a sculptural gallery finished with rift-cut white oak, cast-bronze hardware, tailored wall coverings and custom lighting. The great room, dining room and kitchen form one continuous waterfront environment, with automated glass doors opening the interiors to Newport Harbor. Calacatta Bluette marble flooring, sourced from a single block in Italy and detailed with stainless-steel reglets, establishes the material palette carried throughout the home.
The kitchen combines professional capability with a clean, integrated design. Super-honed Italian Calacatta Borghini marble wraps the countertops and backsplash, complemented by rift white oak cabinetry and hand-blown glass pendants. The Gaggenau appliance suite includes combination gas and induction cooking, a teppanyaki grill, steam oven, integrated refrigeration and specialized culinary equipment. Nearby, Palissandro Blue Extra marble defines the wet bar and continues along the dining-room walls. An interactive Christopher Boots chandelier completes the dining space, connecting art, lighting and the harbor outlook.
From morning light through sunset, the terrace captures a changing panorama of Newport Harbor, the channel, The Wedge, Sand Dollar Cove and the Pacific beyond. Heated flooring, built-in audio and overhead heat lamps extend the living experience outdoors, creating a comfortable setting for harbor activity, coastal light and evening city views
The primary suite is positioned as a private retreat within the residence. Harbor views extend through the bedroom and dedicated sitting room, while a Bianca Lasa Extra marble fireplace brings warmth to the space. A private balcony connects both rooms and offers a quiet place to take in the water and coastal skyline. Two custom closets and direct access to the suite’s private spa patio complete the experience.
The first primary bath is finished in extra-honed Calacatta Bluette marble and features a full-slab steam shower, freestanding soaking tub and circular window framing the harbor. A custom chandelier composed of Brazilian quartz crystals adds a sculptural focal point.
The second bath pairs Black Vintage marble with a multi-head steam shower and bench seating. Outside, a secluded patio includes an in-ground spa, radiant heated floors and an outdoor shower, creating a private extension of the suite.
On the opposite side of the residence, a guest suite captures panoramic water views and opens directly to the main terrace. A walk-in closet and en suite bath with a multi-head steam shower provide privacy and comfort for extended stays. The dedicated laundry room offers direct access to the private two-car garage—a distinction shared by only one other residence within AERIE.
Reserved exclusively for the residence, the a privately secured wine enoteca offers commercial-grade Sub-Zero refrigeration for more than 1,000 bottles, along with a tasting area and custom storage. Its location is on the same level as AERIE’s Sand Dollar Lounge allowing effortless entertaining while remaining a private extension of the home.
The Sand Dollar Lounge includes a television lounge, full bar, catering kitchen, and barbecue area. Residents also enjoy a fitness center, harbor-view pool and spa, private beach pad and direct access to Sand Dollar Cove’s bay beach. The AERIE marina includes a shared Duffy boat and 183 Carnation enjoys a dedicated slip for a vessel up to 30 feet, placing Newport Harbor at the doorstep.
Corona del Mar's village shops and restaurants are moments away, while Fashion Island, Newport Harbor and the region's finest coastal destinations remain close at hand. Yet from within AERIE, the setting feels remarkably private and removed.
183 Carnation is not simply about the view - extraordinary as it is. It is about the precision behind every surface, the ease of single-level living, direct access to the harbor, and the rare ability to enjoy resort-level amenities without leaving home.
