Property Detail

Description

Set just north of Corral Canyon on Malibu's Pacific Coast Highway, this gated beachfront penthouse residence sits within a unique four-home building, blending privacy, inventive design, and uninterrupted ocean views. Designed by award-winning Malibu architect Michael E. Barsocchini, 26174 Pacific Coast Highway is a three-bedroom, two-bath, single-level home spanning 1,921 square feet, with no neighboring buildings and direct access to a rare, secluded stretch of sand. True to Barsocchini's style, the penthouse offers an open floor plan, double-height vaulted ceilings with skylights, and walls of glass that maximize natural light while framing sweeping ocean views. The kitchen captures the same dramatic vistas of the Pacific, bringing the ocean into daily living and entertaining. The primary suite features a cozy fireplace, walk-in closet, spa-like bath with soaking tub and shower, and French doors opening to a wraparound beachfront deck. Two additional bedrooms provide more ocean views, while a charming library nook with sliding ladder adds character. The guest bath stands out with its striking all-brick design, adding warmth and texture. Amenities include two gated garage spaces, guest parking, a sauna with ocean views, and a large entertaining deck- perfect for sunset dinners, weekend gatherings, or morning surf checks. Just minutes from Malibu Country Mart, Paradise Cove, Latigo's surf break, and Pepperdine University, this rare penthouse retreat delivers the essence of exclusive coastal living. Highlights of owning in this ideally located building include low HOA fees, direct beach access, and the intimacy of a small community compared to larger Malibu complexes- all with the rarity of a secluded beachfront shared with no other buildings- something even most estates priced over $20M cannot claim.
