Positioned on the inner loop of the Port Streets in Newport Beach, 1961 Port Cardigan Place introduces a fully reimagined residence defined by elevated design, scale, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Located near Anderson Elementary and situated on the same street as the school’s entrance, the home offers convenient access to the campus within one of the neighborhood’s most established settings.
Reconstructed in 2025 and designed by Alicia Torosian Design, this residence was featured on the 2026 Corona del Mar Home Tour. Thoughtful design and high-quality craftsmanship are evident throughout, with custom finish carpentry, cabinetry, stonework, wallpaper, and integrated furnishings creating a cohesive and refined interior environment. French white oak extends across flooring, ceilings, doors, shutters, and into the finished garage, reinforcing a consistent architectural aesthetic.
Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the open-concept layout offers a natural flow between living spaces. Each bedroom is appointed with its own ensuite bathroom, providing comfort and functionality. The kitchen serves as a central gathering space, featuring Thermador appliances, an oversized skylight, and a custom backsplash, all opening to the main living areas.
The outdoor setting is equally compelling, with a generously scaled backyard offering space for entertaining, recreation, or relaxation. Additional features include on-site RV parking, adding versatility to the property.
