More Insights

Built in 1963 (63 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1963, this property has clearly undergone an extensive and recent renovation. The kitchen features modern white shaker-style cabinetry, granite countertops, and high-end stainless steel appliances (double oven, gas cooktop, French door refrigerator), all appearing to be in excellent, virtually new condition. The bathrooms are also exceptionally updated with modern vanities, granite countertops, contemporary fixtures, and stylish tile work in the showers (frameless glass doors, built-in benches, and decorative patterns). The flooring throughout is a consistent, light wood-look material, and the paint is fresh. Large, modern windows and glass balcony railings further enhance the contemporary feel. The overall impression is of a property that has been fully renovated to current quality standards, making it move-in ready with no deferred maintenance visible in the key areas.

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.
Low Available Lot Utilization: The property has a small lot size, more than 70 percent of which is taken by its living area. lot size in square feet = 1503, living area = 1490.
Leased Land: The property is on leased land with a significant monthly fee of approximately $1,450 and only 41 years remaining on the land lease, which can impact financing, long-term appreciation, and resale value.
Property Age: Built in 1963, the property's age may suggest potential for older systems or components that could require future maintenance or upgrades, despite its current condition.
Modest Square Footage for Price: With 1,490 sqft, the interior living space might be considered modest for a Malibu beachfront property at its price point, especially when factoring in the leased land arrangement.
