Some properties check boxes. A rare few rewrite them entirely. 2910 Lafayette Avenue is the latter: a bayfront architectural residence in Newport Beach's Cannery Village offering what the market simply does not: a private 31-foot boat slip, parking for six, a flexible waterfront ground floor with commercial signage rights, and a level of precision that earned a feature in Architectural Digest. This newly completed residence is the result of a multi-year collaboration between Anders Lasater Architects, Prestige Builders, and interior designer Ohara Davies-Gaetano. The quality is unambiguous. It is the property's rare combination of features, however, that places it in a category entirely on its own. A private 31-foot boat slip sits directly off the ground floor. Six vehicles park on-site, three in a secured garage and three additional spaces, an almost unheard-of provision for bayfront Newport. The flexible waterfront ground-floor space, uniquely zoned to permit commercial signage, functions equally as a world-class private office, guest quarters, a gallery, or any combination of the three. With Lido Marina Village's cafés, boutiques, beaches, and weekend markets just steps away, the walkability here is exceptional. Inside, floor-to-ceiling Otiima glass dissolves the boundary between the interior and Newport Harbor. Slatted white oak paneling, hand-troweled plaster walls, soft stone underfoot, and custom lighting throughout. The chef's kitchen is anchored by a sculptural leathered-stone island with fully integrated Thermador appliances and a concealed pantry. A private elevator serves all levels. The second-floor terrace is outfitted for al fresco entertaining with a full outdoor kitchen. Two bedrooms include a spa-caliber primary suite and a penthouse lounge with panoramic harbor views. The ground-floor bayfront gallery, complete with a wine wall, integrated AV, beverage center, and two concealed Murphy beds, opens directly to the dock and a sculptural outdoor shower. The finish level throughout reflects a standard of precision more commonly associated with a custom superyacht than a residential project. For the buyer who has seen everything and is still looking for the one that actually delivers, this is it.
