Welcome to 2405 Tustin Avenue, a home that doesn’t just stand apart — it rises above. Boasting a grandfathered 30-foot height limit no longer available to new construction, this architectural showpiece quite literally towers over the neighborhood, granting it unmatched privacy, uninterrupted Newport Back Bay views, and a sense of exclusivity that simply can’t be duplicated. From the moment you step onto the upper patio deck, you’re walking at a level most homes can only dream of — eye-level with treetops, rooftops, and coastal skies. With sweeping 360-degree panoramic views, it feels like your own private sky lounge — no neighboring second-story windows in sight, just endless horizons and open air. Here, the buyer enjoys the rare opportunity to live on the edge of Upper Newport Bay — on a Newport Beach street — while paying Costa Mesa taxes. Inside, over 3,296 sq ft of curated, light-filled living space unfolds across a dramatic multi-level floor plan. The primary suite, a 1,500+ sq ft sanctuary, features two private view decks, a media lounge, home office, art studio, and a walk-in closet worthy of a boutique showroom. The main living areas showcase floor-to-ceiling windows, three rich wood-burning fireplaces, and gallery-style walls — ideal for art lovers and entertainers alike. A first-floor bedroom suite adds versatility for guests or multigenerational living. Outdoors, this property transforms into a resort-like retreat with an in-ground spa, fruit trees, outdoor shower, and custom 10-bike retractable rack — the perfect launchpad for morning rides to the Back Bay or beach. And the garage? A masterpiece in its own right. With 10’ clearance, a drive-through layout suitable for eight off street parking spots, sunken bunker floor, dedicated workshop, and rear parking pad, it’s engineered for creatives, collectors, and gearheads alike. All of this just minutes from 17th Street dining, Fashion Island, South Coast Plaza, John Wayne Airport, and the best coastal lifestyle Orange County has to offer. This is more than a home — it’s a high-elevation experience. Unique features. Unmatched privacy. Unlimited potential. Schedule your private showing today and discover why 2405 Tustin is unlike anything else on the market.
