Team Hoover has recently sold a spectacular property on the exclusive Bay Island. Founded in 1903 as a private club, Bay Island is a 5.5-acre private enclave of 23 bay front homes that also includes a community tennis court, caretaker’s cottage, gardens, and private boat slips for homeowners. Team Hoover, Anne & John Hoover, represented the buyers in the sale of 5 Bay Island, who are long-standing, repeat clients of over 20 years. The property was listed above $9 million.
Bay Island is characterized as a private oasis of lush foliage, spacious lawns, multiple flower gardens, and mature trees, and it offers one of the deepest sandy beaches in Newport Harbor. Situated in the heart of the harbor, this comfortable living beach home enjoys panoramic views of the Balboa Pavilion, Fashion Island®, Saddleback Mountains, and dynamic yachting activity in the bay, including the annual holiday boat parade. Bay Island is unique in that it is the only island in Newport Harbor that does not allow cars. All residents access the island via golf cart from the private off-site parking garage. Bay Island epitomizes the quintessential vintage beach lifestyle and is a wonderful step back in time; it is truly a tiny slice of heaven.
As lifelong Newport Beach residents, and from their firsthand experience, Anne and John Hoover are able to share specific neighborhood details with their valued clients. They have both been in the industry for over 30 years and have been active not only in sales, but in the governance of the industry. John, who was formerly an executive with a Manhattan-based real estate investment and development concern, is experienced in the sale, development, and financing of both residential and commercial property. Anne is active within the Newport Beach Association of REALTORS®, of which she has served as president, and is also a founding and continuing board member of the Newport Beach MLS Corporation. She was also awarded REALTOR of the Year by the Newport Beach Association of REALTORS.
