BAYFRONT LIVING WITH FLEXIBLE 2-BATH POTENTIAL AND SWEEPING VIEWS OF UPPER NEWPORT BAY, marina, open water, and coastal bluffs this beautifully updated waterfront cottage sits directly on the bay in the heart of Newport Beach. Step outside to an oversized patio with unobstructed water views, perfect for sunset dinners, morning coffee, or launching a paddle board or kayak with direct access to the bay and ocean beyond. ORIGINALLY DESIGNED WITH TWO FULL BATHROOMS, the home currently features one full bath plus a half bath that was thoughtfully reconfigured by the owner to create a walk-in pantry. Importantly, plumbing and electrical remain in place offering a straightforward opportunity for a future owner to restore the second full bath. This provides rare flexibility to enjoy expanded pantry storage today while preserving easy two-bath functionality for the future. Inside, the LIGHT-FILLED GREAT ROOM FEATURES VAULTED CEILINGS, expansive windows, and a cozy fireplace, all designed to capture the views. The open kitchen offers granite countertops, a large island, stainless-steel appliances, and the benefit of the current walk-in pantry configuration for exceptional storage and convenience. Both bathrooms have been fully renovated, adding a fresh, updated feel throughout. The private primary suite is thoughtfully separated and includes a generous bath with soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual sinks. A second bedroom plus a flexible third bedroom or office provide comfortable options for guests or everyday living. Two-car driveway parking adds convenience. Just STEPS FROM THE
