The home
About 1000 Dover Drive
Set on a generous 9,100+ square foot lot in coveted Dover Shores, this classic Newport Beach home features nearly 2,900 square feet of living space, which includes a ~750 SF living area above the garage (with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, living, dining, kitchen and semi-private entrance)—ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or income. In total it has 4 bedrooms (but could be modified to 6 bedrooms very easily!) and 3.5 bathrooms. The approach is all curb appeal: a sweeping circular drive, ivy-clad walls, black garage doors, and a second-story balcony that announces the home before you even step inside.
The foyer opens onto warm travertine floors and high, light-filled volumes. Living and dining rooms flow together toward a wall of French doors that frame the pool and garden. A seating area, fireplace, and an easy connection to the kitchen make this the natural gathering core of the house. The kitchen is built for real use: a large island with dark counters, farmhouse sink, wood cabinetry, and stainless appliances, with sightlines into both the living room and the backyard.
A paneled office with French doors to the side yard gives a quiet work-from-home option.
Outside is the real lifestyle play. A slate patio wraps a beautiful pool, with a brick outdoor kitchen and grill, fire-pit seating, lounge chairs, and a dining table under a large cantilever umbrella. Tall hedges and mature trees keep it private.
Dover Shores is the draw: resident-only private beaches on the Back Bay, trail access along Upper Newport Bay, Mariners Elementary nearby, and a short hop to 17th Street dining, Fashion Island, the harbor, and the coast.
A rare combination of usable lot, flexible living area above the garage, indoor-outdoor flow, and one of Newport’s most livable and desirable neighborhoods.

Estimate only, not a loan offer or quote. Principal and interest use the Freddie Mac 30-year fixed average of 7.28% (week of Oct 1, 2026); your rate will differ. A loan this size is typically a jumbo loan, which prices differently. Tax and insurance are modelled, not billed amounts; tax uses a typical Newport Beach rate, excluding Mello-Roos. Verify all figures. Full assumptions and disclosures.
