1201 Dolphin Ter

Positioned in the most prestigious front-row enclave of Irvine Terrace, this architectural masterpiece offers an extraordinary opportunity to own one of the most coveted vantage points in all of Newport Beach. Designed by the acclaimed Brandon Architects and encompassing over 7,000 square feet of meticulously curated living space, this residence is a testament to elevated design, bespoke craftsmanship, and uncompromising quality. Framed by unobstructed views of Newport Harbor, Catalina Island, and city lights, the home’s grandeur immediately welcomes you. Soaring 11.5-foot ceilings and wide-plank white oak floors establish a warm, yet sophisticated palette, while custom finishes and architectural details speak to a level of thoughtfulness rarely seen. Crafted for a discerning lifestyle, the floorplan offers 5 expansive bedroom suites, a private office, and 8 artfully designed bathrooms. An integrated Savant smart home system provides seamless control over every element—from lighting and climate to security and entertainment. Every amenity has been conceived with luxury in mind: a private wellness studio and gym, a state-of-the-art screening room, and a 1,300-bottle, climate-controlled wine cellar secured with a biometric security feature. A full entertainer’s bar, elevator, and 4-car garage elevate both convenience and experience. The heart of the home lies in its open concept living and dining spaces, anchored by a chef’s kitchen equipped with Gaggenau appliances, a Quartzite-clad Island, and an adjoining prep kitchen for seamless hosting. Floor-to-ceiling Renlita doors vanish to reveal uninterrupted indoor-outdoor flow, where refined comfort meets dramatic coastal vistas. The primary suite is a private retreat with its own expansive terrace overlooking the harbor, a sleek stone fireplace, and a spa-quality bath complete with soaking tub and steam shower. The walk-in wardrobe—custom-built with suede and leather detailing—is worthy of a private atelier. On the lower level, you will find a secondary primary suite, additional guest quarters, and a grand entertaining lounge open to a resort-style outdoor living space. The infinity-edge pool, built-in BBQ kitchen, and multiple lounge areas offer a front-row seat to Southern California’s most iconic sunsets. This is more than a home—it’s a rare, legacy-caliber estate for the individual who seeks the exceptional.
