Tradition will be on display this month with the 108th Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade. Why watch from the water via a chartered tour when you can see it from the comfort of your own home?
“The boat parade is one of the historical staples of the Newport Beach waterfront,” says Brian Fox, a Newport native and realtor who heads the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce’s Navigate youth program to develop young business leaders. “It’s pretty cool having something like that going by your front door, even if it is only once a year.”
This Linda Isle home (direct left) is a prime parade-viewing spot, with an outdoor terrace spanning the width of the property and leading to a private dock. Large floor-to-ceiling windows and doors put the parade on display from the 6,788-square-foot interior as well. The two-story 2016 home has four bedrooms, four full baths, a half-bath, and a kitchen with one gas range and one electric. The master suite features a fireplace and harbor views. This contemporary $25 million residence by architect Carlton Graham offers a private front courtyard with a pool and spa, plus a three-car garage. Listed by Tim Smith, 949-717-4711
