What's special

A rare opportunity to own a frontrow townhome on Malibu's coveted La Costa Beach. This corner unit sits in a premier position with unobstructed, head on ocean views and sweeping panoramas up and down the coastline. This gated beachfront complex offers covered parking directly off PCH and an unbeatable location moments from downtown Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and Santa Monica. This unit experienced fire damage in the January 7, 2025 Palisades fire and is now a blank canvas ready for transformation. Bring your architect, contractor, and vision to create a bespoke coastal retreat on one of Malibu's most desirable sand-on-the-water stretches. Exceptional value for a beachfront buyer looking for opportunity and upside.
