Gracefully positioned on a desirable corner lot with coastal panoramas in the exclusive seaside enclave of Shore Cliffs, 251 Driftwood Rd presents a rare and exciting opportunity to reimagine a coastal home in one of Corona del Mar’s most desirable communities. Plans have been conceptualized by award winning Brandon Architects for an approximately 5,600 square foot warm transitional-style two-story estate featuring 5 bedrooms plus a den, 5.5 bathrooms, a 3-car garage, elevator, expansive open-concept living spaces, a dramatic ocean-view rooftop deck, and a luxurious primary suite with sweeping views of the Pacific. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the future residence would also include a pool/spa, outdoor cabana, and covered living room ideal for entertaining. Currently, the property is a charming single-level 2 bedroom + bonus room, 3 bath residence with a private pool. The existing home offers a thoughtful layout, ocean views from the living area, and a tranquil courtyard setting. Situated just steps from multiple world-class beaches—including exclusive access to a private gated beach for Shore Cliffs residents—and within walking distance to the shops and restaurants of the Corona del Mar Village, this property offers a quintessential blend of comfort, lifestyle, and proximity . Delight in effortless access to Fashion Island, Pelican Hill Resort, Crystal Cove’s scenic trails and promenade, and John Wayne Airport.
