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 vie
