Timeless Elegance Meets Modern Design: Inside Corona del Mar’s $49.5M Blufftop Estate

 

A breathtaking blend of timeless elegance and modern design, a newly renovated Corona del Mar mansion is turning heads in the prestigious Shore Cliffs neighborhood. Perched atop a nearly three-quarter-acre bluff with stunning views of Catalina Island, Arch Rock, and the channel entrance, this estate is now on the market for an impressive $49.5 million.

This architectural masterpiece, initially designed in 2008 by renowned Orange County architect Brion Jeanette, stands as a testament to craftsmanship and creativity. Over the past two years, its interiors have undergone a meticulous transformation led by current owner and real estate investor Lin He

From the moment you step into its grand entrance, you’ll notice how the traditional decorative flooring has been replaced with warm wood tones, setting the stage for a welcoming yet luxurious ambiance. Heavy metal chandeliers have given way to sleek, contemporary lighting, while custom shades bring an air of modern simplicity.

The mansion spans four levels, encompassing 11,165 square feet of meticulously curated space. With five bedrooms and ten bathrooms, it caters to those seeking privacy and comfort. The nearly full-floor primary suite, complete with two bathrooms, two dressing areas, a sitting room, and a private oceanfront terrace, offers unparalleled luxury.

Additional highlights include a gourmet kitchen with a breakfast nook, a formal dining room, a wood-paneled office, a family room, and a gym. For entertainment, the home boasts a state-of-the-art theater, a rooftop terrace, and an oceanfront pool with several terraces and a barbecue center. A private pathway leads directly to the sandy cove below.

 

What truly sets this home apart is its seamless integration of modern technology with timeless elements. Upgraded audio, visual, and security systems ensure convenience without compromising the estate’s original character.

As He explains, the renovation was all about striking balance. “We didn’t make everything modern and clean because we still wanted a hint of that old-world feel,” he shared, noting the intricate fireplaces preserved to juxtapose the contemporary elements.

This mansion represents the pinnacle of California luxury—a place where history and innovation coexist in perfect harmony.

Bottom Line

If you’re dreaming of calling Orange County home, let’s connect. I’ll guide you to find the perfect property that matches your vision and lifestyle.
