Few homes carry as much eclectic charm and history as this Malibu residence. Built in 1969, this vibrant structure pays tribute to the Summer of Love from wall to wall. Although the architecture includes the characteristic clean lines of mid-century SoCal structures, the vivid details go far beyond the minimalism we typically see in comparable homes. A retro beachfront fantasy come to life, this home is undeniably cool. Priced at $9,800,000, 21640 Pacific Coast Hwy, Malibu, CA 90265 is listed by Branden Williams at The Beverly Hills Estates.
Designed by the legendary architecture firm Buff and Hensman, this home was fully restored to its former glory – and then some. The 2,400-square-foot residence includes three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The entire lot covers 4,881 square feet. Some of the most notable modern upgrades include new Styleline windows and sunburnt orange onyx kitchen and bathroom countertops. Great care was taken in complementing the original aesthetic.
The vintage (and vintage-inspired) details throughout the home reflect the golden era of Malibu. Upon entering the residence, the stained glass-style windows bathe the entire foyer in a playful light. The New Zealand green shag wool carpet provides a plush, retro touch to the quintessential sunken living space.
The double-height cedar ceilings give the home an organic look that emphasizes the time period of its construction. New wall-mounted Duravits toilets, wallpaper from France and Asia, and bronze mirrors create an exotic feel. There are charming flecks of creativity and character in every corner of the home.
Residents can step outside their back door onto the charming sand of La Costa Beach. The back deck intentionally jets out further than either neighbor, allowing an enhanced level of privacy when lounging in the sun. The uninterrupted sea views add azure to the rich color palette of the residence.
A private jacuzzi is tucked away for complete isolation and ultimate stargazing possibilities. There is also an outdoor shower for rinsing off after a dip in the sea. To complete the outdoor space, the yard boasts a fire pit for entertaining. The lush landscaping on both sides of the house creates the feel of a tropical oasis.
On the exterior, cedar shingles create an immediate striking impression. From the front, the boxy frame with banana palms creates a model mid-century appearance. The property immediately exudes contemporary luxury with a touch of modern charcoal trim.
Situated just minutes away from both downtown Santa Monica and downtown Malibu, this property offers a convenient and coveted location. The home provides a captivating view of the renowned Queen’s Necklace, a stretch of coastline that transforms into a sparkling spectacle as night falls. From the setting to the spectacular interior, this property is one-of-a-kind. Opportunities to acquire properties with these unique features are exceptionally infrequent.
