Dazzling and serene seaside surroundings are only part of the exceptional charm of this splendid compound nestled atop a bluff in one of the most sought-after locations in Corona del Mar, now listed by Rob Giem of Compass for $26 million. Not only will the lucky new owner of this magnificent contemporary-style estate have the rare and unparalleled luxury of enjoying endless ocean, coastline, jetty, beach and crashing whitewater views from soaring walls of glass and a multitude of terraces—not to mention a secluded outdoor living room complemented by a fireplace, serving kitchen and bar—but they also will be able to pleasantly while away the days inside a handsome masterpiece designed and built over seven years by architect Ed Lohrbach. Think 5,000-plus square feet of welcoming and naturally lit living space on three levels, replete with top-of-the-line details including Venetian plaster, imported marbles, custom steel and bronze, inlaid matte lacquered doors, Wenge cabinetry and built-ins, hand-cut limestone walls and a commercial elevator servicing all floors. Among the highlights: a gourmet kitchen with imported Boffi cabinetry; full-floor, two-bedroom master suite with sitting area, fireplace, office, gym, spalike bath and dressing room; and an entertaining space with a theater, billiards, bar, kitchen, and oceanfront terrace and spa. The coup d’état? Easy access to neighborhood beaches, restaurants and shops, which just adds to the overall allure of what perhaps is the most lust-worthy abode in all of O.C. robgiem.com
