1501 Anita Lane

Complemented by a spacious corner homesite in the sought-after Newport Beach neighborhood of Dover Shores, this classic single-story residence showcases coveted Mid-Century style. Thoughtfully upgraded while maintaining its 1960s-era pedigree, the four-bedroom, two-and-one-half-bath design is embraced by manicured front-yard landscaping and a private entry courtyard with stone tile, a fountain and tropical landscaping. Interior spaces of approximately 2,430 square feet flow easily from one to the other for carefree living and entertaining. Skylights illuminate several rooms, including a formal living room that opens to the private enclosed courtyard and joins a formal dining room. Bright and upgraded, the kitchen is the true heart of this home and features a butler’s pantry with side-yard access, white cabinetry with glass uppers, quartz countertops and backsplash, a garden window, breakfast nook with wine refrigerator, and stainless steel appliances including a five-burner cooktop with glass and steel hood. Open to the kitchen and nook, the family room is light and airy, complete with a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows looking onto the courtyard, a corner fireplace with raised granite hearth, and French doors leading to the backyard. The primary suite opens to the backyard as well and reveals a barn door to the bathroom, mirrored wardrobe doors, two sinks, a large shower with frameless glass enclosure, and access to a den or retreat. Entertain by sunlight and starlight in a generous backyard with a large swimming pool and a built-in fire pit and outdoor shower. Dover Shores is desired for its setting near Newport’s Back Bay, trails, beaches, Fashion Island, outstanding schools, golf courses and the Balboa Peninsula.
