‘Shark’ swims into new waters

Robert Herjavec has found his latest investment in Newport Beach. The businessman and “Shark Tank” star has purchased a waterfront home through a trust for $7.95 million.

Taken down to the studs and rebuilt last year, the contemporary-style house has harbor views from its spot on the Balboa Peninsula.

The two-story house features a center-island kitchen, a dining area and a sunny living room

anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace on the main level. White walls pair with French oak floors throughout 3,550 square feet of interior.

All four bedrooms are found upstairs, which is reached by a cable-railing staircase.

The master suite looks out on the water through picture windows and features custom tile and a freestanding tub in the bathroom.

Pocketing doors lead outside, where a wood deck descends to a turf lawn. A grill and private dock complete the waterfront scene.

A native of Canada, Herjavec founded internet security software integrator BRAK Systems in 1990 and sold it to AT&T Canada a decade later for $30.2 million.

He’s appeared as a judge in all 10 seasons of “Shark Tank,” a reality show where entrepreneurs pitch their businesses to investors including Herjavec, Mark Cuban and Kevin O’Leary.

Tara Foster Shapiro of Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty was the listing agent. Andrew McDonald of the Agency represented the buyer.
