Located on the prestigious bayfront of Balboa Island, 1011 N Bayfront presents a rare opportunity to own a premier waterfront property with direct beach access and panoramic harbor views. Positioned on a coveted corner lot, this exceptional residence captures abundant natural light and delivers unobstructed water views from both the front and rear units.

The bayfront patio opens directly onto the sand, creating an ideal setting for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the quintessential coastal lifestyle. Inside, the lower level features newly refinished hardwood flooring, leading into a well-appointed kitchen with expansive wraparound granite countertops and sleek lacquer cabinetry. Upstairs, the living space transitions to durable vinyl plank flooring and includes three generously sized bedrooms, each with en suite bathrooms. The primary suite is positioned directly over the water, offering breathtaking, uninterrupted harbor views. The rear unit showcases dramatic vaulted ceilings and oversized windows, creating a bright, open atmosphere that fully embraces the waterfront setting. Loft-style bedrooms enhance the sense of volume and architectural character.
