601 Dahlia Ave

Embraced by an expansive double homesite with 55 feet of frontage in the village of Corona del Mar’s coveted Flower Streets enclave, this elegantly upgraded property features two distinct residences. Enjoy the main home as your own and offer the apartment-style unit located over a four-car garage for rent. Or, if you prefer, open the interior door that unites them both and create one spacious two-story design with five bedrooms and four- and one half baths in approximately 3,840 square feet. A classic white picket fence, brick decking and a covered porch introduce the Coastal New England-influenced main residence. Featuring a trio of bedrooms, two full baths and a powder room, the bright and flowing home reveals a formal living room with dramatic vaulted ceiling and a marble-finished fireplace that also serves the formal dining room. A versatile entry lounge showcases a handsome multi-tiered staircase. Generously proportioned, the chef-caliber kitchen shares a see-through fireplace with the adjacent great room and shines with stone
countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances, ample white cabinetry with glass uppers, and an island with seating. Skylights illuminate the great room, which is large enough to include a media, game or secondary dining space. This area of the home opens to a beautiful and private courtyard with custom fireplace, built-in grill, turf-inlaid patio, and a spa with waterfall. Secondary bedrooms are spacious and embellish personal comfort, while the primary suite hosts a high ceiling, and a fireplace-warmed bath with freestanding tub, three separate vanities, a large shower, and a walk-in closet with custom built-ins. Equally stylish, the second residence displays a separate entrance, sunny balcony, two bedrooms, two baths, a living room and fully appointed kitchen. Fashionable finishes, hardware, lighting, tilework, millwork, built-ins and wide-plank flooring elevate style throughout. Located across the street from Sherman Library and Gardens, this extraordinary turnkey property with a sought-after double lot is a short stroll from village shops, cafés, coffeehouses and galleries. Fashion Island, top-rated schools, Begonia Park, beaches and the harbor are also reachable without a car.
