About 1535 Santa Barbara
This exceptional third-level penthouse residence represents one of the most desirable opportunities to come to market at The Meridian. Designed as a two-bedroom plus office, the home also features generous walk-in storage—a rare and valuable amenity in luxury high-rise living. Positioned on the top residential level, the residence benefits from significantly higher ceilings, creating a dramatic sense of volume and natural light not found on lower floors.

Equally compelling is the home’s premier placement within the community, with no buildings in front or behind, offering both privacy and expansive openness—an uncommon combination even within The Meridian. The interior is defined by timeless sophistication, featuring wide-plank white oak flooring and a beautifully appointed kitchen with custom white oak cabinetry. The space is further elevated by top-tier appliances, including Wolf cooking appliances, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a dedicated wine refrigerator—a clear reflection of the home’s elevated caliber.
This is a residence where location, elevation, views, and craftsmanship align, making it one of the most compelling offerings at The Meridian—designed for those who value refinement, privacy, and the very best of Newport Beach living.
