About 17 Muir Beach Circle
Perched atop Spyglass Hill with sweeping views of the Pacific, Catalina Island, Newport Harbor, and glittering city lights, this newly reimagined coastal estate offers rare serenity just minutes from Fashion Island and Corona del Mar Village. Marrying warm contemporary design with refined craftsmanship, the home embodies the best of elevated Southern California living. Beyond a stately teak-gated entrance, a cobblestone drive winds through manicured gardens to reveal a striking façade of smooth plaster and expansive picture windows—a prelude to the exquisite interiors. At the center, an open-air Mediterranean-modern courtyard invites starlit gatherings around a sculptural fire feature, seamlessly blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living. Designed for both grand entertaining and intimate living, the estate features two fully equipped kitchens. The primary chef’s kitchen includes a 72” AGA Induction range, Sub-Zero glass-panel refrigeration, Miele espresso system, dual dishwashers, and Wolf microwave. Calacatta Terrazzo, Naval Brass, rift white oak cabinetry, and Dorn Bracht fixtures elevate every detail. The adjoining catering kitchen adds a 48” Viking Pro gas range, under-counter refrigeration, warming drawers, and passthrough service for effortless hosting. The open-concept great room connects dining, living, and outdoor spaces with a Bang & Olufsen sound system and floor-to-ceiling glass that opens to a sun-drenched terrace. Outside, enjoy a heated pool and spa, curated gardens, al fresco dining, and lounge areas with unforgettable views. Private quarters are equally refined. Two primary suites offer panoramic ocean-to-mountain vistas, spa-caliber baths finished in Pink Cristallo quartzite, Fantini fixtures, in-suite laundry, walk-in closets, and LG clothing steamers. Two additional guest suites provide quiet luxury and comfort. An executive office with custom built-ins anchors the main level, while a second office-library in the primary wing opens to fresh air and natural light. A hidden media experience, wet bar, two powder rooms, and a beautifully appointed laundry room with pet wash enhance day-to-day living. Throughout the home, handcrafted Moroccan Zellige tile adds texture and quiet sophistication. A hidden speakeasy—discreet and inviting—offers the perfect setting for rare spirits and private evenings. This is not merely a remodel, but a masterful reinvention—crafted for those who value design, distinction, and the art of living well.
