Description
Poised above the prestigious bluff of Dover Shores with extraordinary views of Newport’s Back Bay and the 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 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 a statement-making 6’ x 9’ glass entry door with offset pivot hardware that opens up to a private courtyard which enhances privacy while connecting the spaces to a fully integrated smart home that elevates the experience of indoor-outdoor living. The second gateway controlled by a pair of 14’ high Herculite® double glass doors opens into a pool atrium space with open-concept living areas featuring floor-to-ceiling retractable glass doors, a retractable translucent roof, custom-cut travertine flooring, and a design aesthetic that reflects California's contemporary style, evoking serenity and inspiration. The four en-suite bedrooms — three of which open directly to the pool atrium — are generous in size and accentuated by high 9’ plate ceilings, while the primary suite offers a private sanctuary with direct views of the Back Bay. 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. The chef’s kitchen is a celebration of function and form, featuring top-tier Thermador, Dacor, Asko, and Gaggenau appliances, including a built-in steamer and teppanyaki stations. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the pool atrium, offering effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining beneath the ever-changing sky. Outdoor spaces invite both contemplation and celebration, featuring a Back Bay-view fire lounge, LED-lit bocce court, al fresco dining terrace, surf shower with board storage, EV charger, and a dedicated gear/storage garage. 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.
