Property Description

Known as the "Happy House" by neighbors who have long admired its unmistakable charm, 2004 E Ocean Boulevard is a true piece of Peninsula Point history. Designed by Don Phillips, the local legend credited with bringing the frozen banana to Newport Beach, this beloved cottage has a place in the story of the Peninsula that goes well beyond its impossibly charming facade. Phillips' frozen-banana legacy became part of Newport folklore-and ultimately helped inspire the fictional banana-stand world of Arrested Development. Today, that history lives beautifully alongside a remarkably thoughtful designer renovation. The home's original soul was carefully preserved-from its distinctive diamond windows to its whimsical cupola-while every other detail was elevated with intricate millwork, natural stone, custom cabinetry, Warren Christopher wide-plank flooring, a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Shade Store window coverings, beautifully appointed baths, and a new roof. The result is a two-bedroom, two bath, single-level beach cottage that feels both polished and wonderfully personal. Every inch has been considered, and every square foot is exceptionally livable-proof that a smaller home can have an extraordinary presence. Positioned on the sunny side of Ocean Boulevard, just two homes from
