2442 Marino

BAYSHORES | NEWPORT BEACH | Set within the private, gated waterfront community of Bayshores, 2442 Marino Drive is a rare, fully authored bespoke estate by acclaimed interior designer Shelley Starr, conceived and crafted over two years as a deeply personal architectural statement rather than a spec home. The residence offers approximately 6,771 square feet of refined living space plus an 832 square foot three-car garage on an approximately 9,000 square foot lot, featuring five bedrooms, five bathrooms, two-half bathrooms. Sculptural architecture with graceful curves, custom oak and walnut paneling, forged bronze detailing, and a dramatic marble staircase define the interiors, while reclaimed wood laid in a bias herringbone pattern introduces warmth, depth, and a sense of heritage. Designed for both daily living and elevated entertaining, the home includes a chef-ready bespoke kitchen anchored by an Italian marble island with Sub-Zero, BlueStar, and Miele appliances, a restorative primary suite with harbor views, private balcony, dual walk-in closets and an additional luxury accessory closet, and a spa-like primary bath with heated marble floors, a sculptural marble shower with Frish finished slabs, hand-plated detailing, and a custom round nickel soaking tub by William Holland. Four additional en-suite guest bedrooms, a private office, a family loft with media and private gym, and a private spa with cold plunge, sauna, jacuzzi, and heated stone floors complete the interior program. Outdoor living includes over 3,000 square feet of landscaped yard and entertaining areas with harbor views, while the location offers a five-minute walk to two private beaches and the community marina, private gated access to Balboa Bay Club, and the rare ability to walk to your boat and be on the water at a moment’s notice.
