Whether you seize the unique opportunity to remodel the existing house or pursue a complete re-build, 608 St. James Place presents a prime opportunity to redevelop and create a custom residence in one of Newport Beach’s most sought-after neighborhoods - Ciff Haven. Located on a quiet loop street, the property currently features a 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home encompassing just over 3,500 SF on a generous 9,000+ SF hillside Lot. Positioned on an elevated site, the property enjoys views of Fashion Island, Saddleback Mountain and the Castaways with the potential to build up and capture expanded views. The lot’s orientation and setting offer an ideal foundation for a thoughtfully designed home that maximizes natural light, privacy, and view corridors. Ideally located just minutes from 17th Street’s shops and dining, Castaways walking trails, Newport Harbor and world-class beaches, the property also offers convenient access to Fashion Island, Balboa Island, and major commuter routes. This is a rare opportunity to secure a premier lot in Cliff Haven with exceptional potential.
