Positioned above the Village of Corona del Mar, this striking contemporary residence is newly constructed and designed around its dramatic ocean and Newport Harbor views. Taking full advantage of the Southwestern facing parcel, the home is crafted for single-level simplicity.

Beyond the front door, the Golden Coast and Palos Verdes hover in the background, centrally appointed in the home. Dramatic views of Catalina Island, the beaches of Newport Peninsula, and the city lights of Fashion Island are all framed by generous walls of glass, integrating indoor and outdoor living.

Light filters throughout the day, mindfully appointing and illuminating the thoughtful floorplan. Conversations flow across the waterfall island to the living space beyond, creating gathering vignettes for entertaining. Receive guests and family in the dining space adjoining the gracious living room, anchored by a linear fireplace encased in crisp marble. Clean white walls are spiked with hand-blown blue tiled backsplash defining a dry bar with refrigerated cabinetry.

The architecture is classic and structured to complement the clean design of the interior. Slick white walls can host pieces of art or sculptures, secured by textures of soft French oak flooring. Guided by market vision, DeCarrier Design curated and sourced all materials for the home with handpicked tiles and countertops, harmonizing classic elements with modern materials to create delicate contrast. Down to the individually cut tile for the precise powder wall with framed mirror.

The entire great room interacts with stunning ocean views beyond, framed by walls of glass that vanish to reveal the rear grounds. A considerable seating and lounging terrace surround the glassy pool and spa. The lush landscape runs alongside the glass wall providing color and texture that highlights the sparkling water. Ideally positioned outside the kitchen, a BBQ island includes a variety of cooking materials desired for entertaining. Overhead heaters accomplish an optimal outdoor experience for those cool Southern California nights.

The primary suite is a gracious sanctuary, embracing stunning views of the ocean and harbor, with entry via the private reading retreat. The bathroom suite is articulate with dual vanities, a makeup vanity, a large shower and tub, water closet, with a custom-built closet containing spacious storage. Four large secondary bedroom suites flank the perimeter of the home; each bedroom is replete with large walk-in closets outfitted with built-in shelving and drawers, and a private bathroom. The concluding touch for the home is a laundry/mudroom, which serves as an entry off the oversized two-car garage with an electric car charger and smart home automation system.

This Harborview Hills location allows for a short walk to PCH, where local amenities are plenty and easily accessible. Conveniently access MacArthur, Marguerite, or San Joaquin Road making this one of Corona del Mar’s most centrally located communities.

Karinya: a word that originated from the Australian aboriginal culture and simply translated as “peaceful home.” Gently resting on a dramatic view promontory within 41 +/- acres of natural woodland and exquisitely crafted landscape, Karinya’s very presence is in harmony with Mother Nature, whispering peace and calm within and outside the walls of its elegant and refined structure. The creation was a project of pure love and respect among a brilliant design/build team: Signum Architecture, Cello & Maudru Construction, Shawback Design, and Jack Chandler Design landscape, with the owner’s inspiration at the helm. The 8,837 +/- sq ft residence was built to last using natural materials with an eye to continuity, a connection with light and nature, an axis to the views, and a design that speaks quietly with subtle simplicity.

Bianco Avorio limestone, à la the Getty, is used throughout, but with three different carving techniques to forge variations of texture and interest. The grain of white oak cabinetry and doors are meticulously bookmarked to their surrounding trim. Steel beams form strength and line. Integral color Venetian plaster glows in the reflection from walls of Reynaers doors, windows, and clerestory. Speakers and outlets are hidden. Hardware is disguised. All major systems are controlled via smartphone. At Karinya, design, and function mindfully coexist to create an exceptional, purposeful living experience.

The arrival takes one through a unique “disappearing” gate into an inviting circular motor court, then to a broad courtyard with sound emanating from a spectacular granite rock water feature, past large scale million-year-old “earth pearls”, forward to a dramatic glass entry and through it to breathtaking Napa Valley views across the infinity-edge pool and limestone terrace. The home’s great room connects living, dining, cooking, family, and music rooms in a clever L configuration with two distinct, yet coherent living spaces. From the kitchen, the spacious dining and living areas step down ever so slightly, almost floating, and shaping an awareness of the room’s impressive size, while retaining a comfortable human scale.

The luxurious primary suite occupies a wing of its own, offering big views, pool access, both his and hers dressing rooms and baths, an outdoor shower, infrared sauna with chromatherapy, a massage room with separate exterior access, and a gym/yoga room with windows and mirrors perfectly aligned to frame beautiful forest views on every wall.

The home’s thoughtfully conceived floor plan provides space for most every need, including a fabulous outdoor barbecue kitchen and pizza oven, a gorgeous custom lighted 2,000 bottle wine library with separate temperature-controlled areas for white and red wines, a large project room with a vast array of built-in storage, two offices with built-in cabinetry, an acoustically designed media/theatre room, 2 powder rooms, mudroom with a high-pressure hose for dog washing, laundry room, 3-car garage, and a full guest apartment with its own living room, view deck, two lovely bedroom suites, and a host of additional creature comforts.

In addition to the main residence, the property also enjoys a charming 1-bedroom A-frame second dwelling with kitchen, loft, and wrap-around view deck, a nearby bocce court, a richly prolific vegetable garden, and an extensive string of hiking trails.

As each day comes to an end and the skies are aglow with the western sunset, one might reflect and ask, what has Karinya gifted me today? The answer: a peaceful home, the generosity of nature, and the abundance of Napa Valley living.
