About 16642 Melville Circle
Nestled within a picturesque cul-de-sac on prestigious Gilbert Island, this executive-style home is a harmonious blend of luxury, functionality, and coastal charm. Boasting 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, this residence sits on an expansive pie-shaped lot designed for upscale living. Start by stepping into your private backyard oasis, complete with a sparkling in-ground pool, soothing above-ground spa, built-in fireplace and a barbecue station ready for your next gathering. Lush, mature greenery ensures privacy while the East-facing yard welcomes the warm midday sun. Inside, the thoughtfully updated interior showcases multiple areas for family and friends to gather. An expansive formal living and dining area with gas fireplace offers panoramic views of the entertainer’s backyard. A casual, second dining space with dual French-door access to the backyard makes informal dining a breeze. The heart of the home is a remodeled chef’s kitchen in today’s coastal colors, outfitted with top-of-the-line Thermador appliances and ample storage. An adjacent seating area showcases a sophisticated wine fridge and wet bar—perfect for unwinding after a long day. Rounding out the downstairs is an extended family room offering seamless indoor-outdoor flow, connecting directly to the desirable spa and patio area. A built-in sitting/office space with a third fireplace provides functionality and form, while an added full bathroom with convenient backyard access blends style and utility. Your guests can go straight from the pool to a hot shower without entering the main living spaces. Upstairs, you'll find five bedrooms, each exuding comfort and sophistication. The generous primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a fireplace and dual closets, plus an ensuite bath with a dual-sink vanity, separate shower and jetted soaking tub. Within the suite is a smaller bedroom—currently used as a dedicated office space—that would make a wonderful nursery, gym, or crafting room. Three additional guest bedrooms share a beautifully remodeled full bathroom, ensuring comfort and convenience for family and guests alike. Other important upgrades include paid solar and PEX plumbing throughout. Located in the heart of Huntington Harbour, and adjacent to Tarbox Park and playground, you’re only moments from the water, upscale dining, boutique shopping, and all the charm this sought-after community offers. A perfect balance of elegance and comfort, this Gilbert Island gem is waiting to welcome you home!
