About 16581 Melville Circle
Perched on an elevated corner lot on prestigious Gilbert Island, this custom Huntington Harbour estate captures the best of coastal living with timeless design and thoughtful details throughout. Limestone and marble flooring, solid wood arched doors, and abundant natural light create a warm, refined feel from the moment you step inside. The versatile open floor plan is made for both everyday living and entertaining. A family room with fireplace flows into the formal dining area, and a downstairs bed. The gourmet kitchen overlooks the backyard and features premium stainless steel appliances, a large center island, and a pantry. A striking floating staircase leads to the second level, where harbour views take center stage. Upstairs includes a spacious loft ready to serve as a media room, gym, or additional living space, a guest bedroom with an attached full bath, and the primary suite. The primary retreat offers a private balcony with tranquil views of the backyard and harbour, along with an ensuite bath featuring dual sinks and a walk-in shower. The backyard is surrounded by mature landscaping and water views, creating a private setting to unwind or host friends. Located in one of Huntington Beach's most desirable neighborhoods and just a short distance to the sand, this Gilbert Island home is a rare opportunity.
