This “unicorn” property in China Cove offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to live in a unique location, on the water and surrounded by the sand. Built as two houses on 35’ and 30’ wide lots they were combined to form one home in 1976. Now you can build a spectacular new home or perhaps rework the existing home. To help determine what might be allowed, the Seller hired famed architect Brion Jeanette to create a plan and submit it for approval. Brion calls his design concept “Aquarium”, with walls of one-way glass that meld the outside with the inside. The City has approved the plans for a new home with over 7,000sf, a rooftop deck and lap pool. The Coastal Commission has been reviewing the plans and that process continues. The buyer may choose to work with Brion’s design or start fresh. This location is truly unique, at the end of Shell Street, the ocean is on three sides at high tide and at low tide, the home is surrounded by beach. What a spectacular place to survey the ocean, the jetty, the harbor and boat traffic. This is the first or last house you pass at the entrance to our magnificent harbor.

Corona Del Mar offers legendary restaurants, world-class shopping, surfing, boating and water sports right outside your front door…… literally “toes in the sand!" Rarely does an opportunity arise to acquire such a property as 2701 Shell. Photos are renderings only and the asking price does not include the new build.
