About 516 Begonia Avenue
This exquisitely designed residence blends contemporary elegance with thoughtful functionality. Its inviting facade is enhanced by an elevated brick patio adorned with raised planters and ample space for outdoor dining and seamless indoor-outdoor living. A custom stainless steel entry door opens to bright, open spaces defined by clean lines, slate flooring, and an extensive use of premium finishes. The main level is centered around a professionally designed chef’s kitchen, crafted by Italy’s renowned Boffi, featuring sleek stainless-steel cabinetry, slide-out pantry shelves, double built-in Sub-Zero refrigerators, a Dacor oven, and a suite of Gaggenau appliances, including a cooktop, steamer, and dishwasher. Designer hardware, Vantage-controlled LED lighting, and clerestory windows further elevate the sophisticated ambiance. An effortless transition leads to a covered rear courtyard, complete with a stainless-steel natural gas BBQ and a tranquil water feature. The living spaces are enriched by fireplaces in both the living and dining rooms, surround sound, and a TV cleverly concealed behind slide-away artwork. The primary suite is a private sanctuary, featuring a fireplace, vaulted ceilings, a secluded balcony, and a spa-inspired bath with a shower for two, floating vanity, and skylight. All closets are cedar-lined, and a built-in safe offers added convenience. Boffi fixtures and finishes continue throughout the home’s elegant baths. A loft-style third-level office provides a quiet retreat, while the rooftop patio—boasting panoramic sightlines—offers an exceptional space for relaxation and entertaining. Additional highlights include automatic blinds, marine-finish stainless steel details throughout, CAT 5 wiring, and security cameras. Nestled in one of the few coveted areas of Corona del Mar with underground utilities, this exceptional home offers a rare blend of luxury, innovation, and coastal charm.
