About this home

Nestled in the highly sought-after Dover Shores neighborhood of Newport Beach, 1534 Santiago Drive is a rare offering where 1967 mid-century design meets the precision and performance of a 2025 rebuild thoughtfully modernized while preserving the integrity of its original architecture. Originally designed by renowned architect Robert C. Peterson, this residence is a true blast from the past, reimagined for today s lifestyle, blending timeless lines, natural light, and seamless indoor-outdoor living with an extensive, no-expense-spared renovation. Behind its refined facade lies a home that has been comprehensively upgraded at every level from new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and smart home integration to custom finishes and curated materials throughout. The result is a property that lives like new construction, yet retains the character and soul that simply cannot be replicated. Spanning approximately 2,900 square feet, the home now offers three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a loft, and generous storage, all thoughtfully reconfigured for modern living. Set on a 10,100 square foot lot, the outdoor experience is equally elevated, highlighted by a custom oversized spool designed for both relaxation and entertaining, along with curated landscaping and multiple gathering spaces. This is more than a home it s a trophy property, a one-of-one offering where architectural heritage and modern innovation converge. Opportunities like this are increasingly rare, as few homes maintain their original design integrity while being elevated to today s standards with such care and detail.
