The story
Designed by esteemed architect Mark Teale and brought to life by the award-winning Nicholson Companies, 224 Iris is set on a rare 40-foot-wide lot in the coveted 200 block of Corona del Mar's Flower Streets. A remarkable expression of contemporary coastal living, the home brings together generous scale, warm natural materials, and thoughtful architecture in a residence that feels both elevated and deeply inviting sunlight, natural stone, warm white oak, richly toned woods, custom millwork, polished nickel, and statement lighting all coming together in a palette with real depth and character. Encompassing approximately 4,649 square feet, the residence features five bedrooms, five full and two half baths, a three-car garage, and a three-stop elevator. Soaring 10'6" ceilings define the main level, where fully pocketing sliding glass doors open the living spaces to expansive patios and courtyards for a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. A chef's kitchen is complemented by an adjoining butler's pantry, while a junior ADU on the first level offers flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. Upstairs, a dedicated lounge creates another intimate space to gather and unwind. Above it all, the approximately 1,422-square-foot rooftop deck is a destination of its own designed for lounging, dining, and entertaining from sunrise through sunset, complete with a built-in BBQ, fire pit, covered entertaining area, powder room, and direct elevator access, all set against sweeping views across Newport Harbor, the Pacific Ocean, and Catalina Island.
