The home
About 1502 South Bay Front
Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. This Little Island property is located on Balboa Island’s “Gold Coast” and is offered for the first time in nearly 50 years. Only 18 homes populate this very exclusive stretch of South Bay Front and rarely are any offered for sale. The Gold Coast is where legacy properties are found, held by families for generations, providing more privacy and less foot traffic than other parts of Balboa Island. Truly special, this home faces the bay and beach front. South facing, one parcel off Grand Canal with expansive water views on one of the widest parts of Newport Harbor. Originally built as a duplex, it has since been used as a single family home with two kitchens, four bedrooms and five baths. Very livable, but some may choose to remodel or build new. Easy access on and off the island.
