Poised above the prestigious bluffs of Dover Shores with extraordinary views of Newport’s Back Bay, Fashion Island® and Pacific coastline, 1336 Galaxy Drive is a masterwork of architecture and artistry. Originally designed in 1963 by renowned Los Angeles architect Harold Levitt for Virginia Knott Bender, this extraordinary estate has been reimagined into a Mediterranean Modern sanctuary, blending open-plan design with coastal resort living. Spanning nearly 5,000 square feet, this residence includes four generous en-suite bedrooms, three of which open directly to the pool atrium, while the primary suite offers a private sanctuary. The open-concept living areas feature floor-to-ceiling retractable glass doors, custom-cut travertine flooring, and a design aesthetic that reflects California's contemporary style, evoking serenity and inspiration. Expansive views from nearly every room offer a unique connection to nature, enhancing the experience of indoor-outdoor living. The chef’s kitchen is a celebration of function and form, featuring top-tier Thermador, Dacor, Asko, and Gaggenau appliances, including built-in steamer and teppanyaki stations. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the pool atrium, offering effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining beneath the ever-changing sky. A statement-making 6’ x 9’ glass pivot entry door enhances privacy while connecting the spaces, while sculptural lighting and a fully integrated smart home system elevate the experience. Four generous en-suite bedrooms provide serene retreats, three opening directly to the pool atrium, while the primary suite enjoys its own private retreat. The primary suite features a gas fireplace, a luxurious bath with refined finishes, and a bespoke walk-in wardrobe. Additional highlights include a stylish home office, a versatile room that can serve as a bedroom or gym, a full laundry suite, and expansive outdoor spaces designed for entertaining. Outdoor spaces invite both contemplation and celebration, featuring a Back Bay-view fire lounge, LED-lit bocce court, al fresco dining terrace, EV charger, surf shower with board storage, and a dedicated gear/storage garage, enhancing the lifestyle offering. Crafted with passion over five visionary renovation phases 2010-2025, 1336 Galaxy Drive is more than a home—it is an experience shaped by its stunning views, architecture, setting, and breathtaking design.
