309 Via Lido Soud CA 92663

Seldom is a residence designed to give precedence to optimal living experiences in every space, or constructed to this standard of exemplary craftsmanship. Extremely rare for its parcel size – 3.5 lots – over 9,400 square feet, and its bayfront position on the most tranquil waterway enveloping Lido Isle, the property and its extraordinary composition are beyond compare.

An immediate introduction to the symphony of scale, light, architectural detail, and textural nuance unfolds upon entering the private interior courtyard, verdant with specimen plantings and mature trees – only to be followed by a profound panorama of elegant yet livable environments and an ever-changing tableau of captivating views, water life, and awe-inspiring sunsets.

The remarkable dwellings – with views from nearly every vantage and comprised of over 8,800 square feet, are a collection of intentionally placed rooms, each thoughtfully created to encapsulate evocative moments and harmoniously connect the interiors to the splendid outdoor surround. A sprawling main-level ensconced in floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows affords myriad opportunities for living, dining, and entertaining both intimately and large-scale, and is fashioned with formal and informal accommodations including both an open and out-of-sight service kitchen, equipped with the finest culinary appointments. The second level, accessed by a sculpturally graphic stair and glass enclosure, offers two ancillary bedrooms with en suite baths; a fireplace-front retreat for media viewing bathed in ambient light from the two-story entry glass; and a sophisticated office or studio with a sculptural gallery wall and an entire wall of glass, opening to a structure-width waterfront terrace. The northwest wing is dedicated to private primary living space, encompassing an open and bright bedroom of considerable size with a seating and viewing area alongside cinematic views and a scenic terrace; an all-window, waterfront fitness room; along with separate distinctly finished dressing rooms and closet spaces – connected by an impressive dual bath rivaling the sanctuary of a fine spa, featuring a suspended carbon-fiber bathing tub – a fete of design and engineering. The adjacent guest house, with its own entrance and views of the pool deck and Bay, is a generous space fitted with all the requisite elements – to function independently of the main house.

With 105 feet of linear frontage – one of the most significant on the Newport Harbor – the exterior environs were envisioned and constructed to capture the inherent distinctions of the special setting. An uncommon secluded terrace with a covered, enclosable, and heated lounge with Radiant heated floors enjoys the sights and sounds of water life in all seasons, while a rare endless edge swimming pool meets the bay, seamlessly connecting the glittering bodies of water. A custom-designed dock crowns the waterside of the property accommodating multiple craft of 70’, 48’, 28’ – with a potential reconfiguration to birth a 100’ vessel.

The incorporated elements, level of precision work, and finish quality reflected throughout the entire property are nothing short of extraordinary. Every consideration was made in developing a complementary assemblage of unconventional materials; fabrics; wall coverings; stones and tiles; lighting systems; hardwoods; artisan-crafted fixtures, hardware, and architectural details; along with a selection of curated installation pieces. The result – transcendent style, uncompromised execution, and an unrivaled atmosphere.

Further distinguishing the property is the unique garage capacity for six vehicles; security provided by 24-hour armed, community patrol; and the lifestyle opportunities found not only by proximity to the region’s finest amenities but those intrinsic to idyllic Lido Isle – including nearby Lido Village and the Newport Harbor.
