809 Via Lido Soud, Newport Beach CA 92663 | $20,995,000

On an island where the standard lot runs ninety feet deep, 809 Via Lido Soud sits on one hundred five; an extra-deep parcel on the coveted 800 block of the Soud side, with something even rarer beyond the property line: your own private sandy beach, a privilege only select Soud-side frontage enjoys. Directly south-facing, the home holds sunlight from first coffee to final pour, opening onto the open sailing channel - no moorings crowding the view, just the daily theater of junior sailors and weekend regattas playing out against the Newport Harbor Yacht Club across the water. Four levels rise from the sand, each with sweeping 180-degree bay views - a profile current codes make effectively impossible to replicate. This is not a house that can be built again. Reimagined over the past year in a comprehensive remodel with new roof, electrical, plumbing, zoned HVAC, windows, doors, and flooring, the residence pairs its refresh with 1984 bones of unusual substance: poured concrete floors throughout for remarkable quiet between levels, a lower level encased in concrete on every surface, and steel-reinforced upper structures engineered to float the primary suite and rooftop deck above it all. The kitchen is fitted with a full suite of Thermador appliances, PITT open burners set directly into a travertine island with matching backsplash, and a true walk-in pantry. Four en-suite bedrooms are joined by a ground-floor flex suite with full bath - made possible by the lot's rare depth - equally at home as a fifth bedroom, theater, gym, or wine cellar. Five and one-half baths in all. Wood-b
