When selling your home during the fall season, there are many things you can do to create autumn curb appeal. If necessary, give your home a fresh coat of paint; try a warm, neutral color for the autumn season. Re-painting or staining the front door can also increase curb appeal. Add a fresh doormat, wreath and pot of flowers to the front porch. Potential buyers begin forming opinions about the home as soon as they pull up to the home, so use this fact to your advantage and create curb appeal.

Pelican Hill is part of the Newport Coast section of Newport Beach. Newport Coast has a population of just 10,000 residents, compared with 85,000 of Newport Beach, giving it a close-knit, small community feeling. Located at 11 Pelican Vista Drive, this 7,600 square foot home is part of the Pelican Crest development. This four bedroom, nine bathroom home was built in 2001. As you enter the home, your eye is immediately drawn to the thousand crystal chandelier in the entry way. There is a customizable LED system throughout every room of the house. Attention to detail can be seen in the Miele appliances, Dorn Bacht fixtures and Bang and Olufsen multimedia equipment. This custom built estate has wonderful views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, Newport Harbor, city night lights and vibrant evening sunsets. The estate sits on an oversized 19,000 square foot piece of property. Pelican Crest is a 24 hour guard gated neighborhood with just 166 custom built homes. Residents in Pelican Hill are very near the Fashion Island Shopping Center with a large variety of shopping, dining and entertainment options.
