More Insights

Built in 1963 (63 years old).
Condition: Built in 1963, this property has undergone significant modern updates, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern Miele appliances, contemporary cabinetry, granite countertops, and skylights. Both en-suite bathrooms are updated with modern tiling, fixtures, and glass enclosures. While the overall aesthetic is clean and well-maintained, some elements like the patterned tile flooring in the entry/kitchen and the living room carpet/blinds, along with the lack of explicit central cooling, prevent it from reaching an 'Excellent' rating, suggesting the renovation is likely within the 5-15 year timeframe.

About this home

A timeless 1963 Sunset Mesa classic with a thoughtful modern touch, this mid-century residence is perched above the coastline, offering sweeping ocean and mountain views, golden sunsets, glowing sunrises, and refreshing ocean breezes year-round. Set on a quiet, view-rich street, the home embodies the indoor/outdoor lifestyle that defines this coveted coastal enclave. Approached via tiered garden steps, the sun-filled leaded glass entry opens to the main level, where an updated kitchen features a Miele range, bar counter seating, a built-in cabinet refrigerator, and skylights that bathe the space in natural light. Sliding glass doors connect the kitchen to a serene backyard and patio, complete with a greenhouse and rose garden, an inviting retreat for relaxation or entertaining. At the heart of the home, a stylish dining room with glass-paneled walls creates an airy, light-filled ambiance. Both bedrooms are generously sized and feature en suite bathrooms, offering comfort, privacy, and seamless access to outdoor patios. The primary suite includes a spacious walk-in closet. Just a few steps above the main level, the living room occupies its own elevated space and is arguably the showpiece of the home. Framed by sliding glass doors, the room opens to a view deck overlooking the Santa Monica Bay, where ocean vistas meet twinkling city lightsan inspiring setting day or night. Located in Sunset Mesa, a community known for its architectural character, coastal views, and strong sense of neighborhood, this property represents both a special opportunity and a hopeful chapter as the area continues to rebuild and move forward after recent fires. With unbeatable access to both Malibu and the Palisades, this is one of the most desirable and convenient coastal pockets in Los Angeles, offering privacy, views, and connection in equal measure.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 3.
Original Construction Year & Potential for Older Systems: While updated, the 1963 build year suggests potential for original infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical) that may not be fully modernized, and the description does not mention a central cooling system, which could be a drawback in warmer months.
Limited Bedroom Count: With only two bedrooms, the property may not accommodate larger families or buyers seeking additional guest rooms or dedicated office space, potentially limiting the buyer pool for a property at this price point.
Area's Post-Fire Recovery: The description notes the area is 'continuing to rebuild and move forward after recent fires,' which, despite positive framing, could raise concerns for some buyers regarding ongoing construction, insurance implications, or perceived environmental risks.
