An idyllic mid-century retreat on the best section of La Costa Beach. Never before listed for sale, this was the Malibu beach home of legendary composer Henry Mancini. The property is perfectly situated on a deep, sandy section of beach far from public access and features breathtaking ocean views from Point Dume and the Malibu Pier all the way to the sparkling Queen’s Necklace. Enter through a spacious courtyard with a seating area and gas fire pit surrounded by lush, mature landscaping. Inside, the ocean views are seemingly endless and the home is flooded with beautiful natural light and gentle sea breeze. The living room fronts the beach and boasts a marble fireplace, built-in TV, and sliding doors leading out onto the oceanfront deck and private beach access. The dining area features a built-in seating area overlooking the sand and surf and leads into the kitchen with stainless steel appliances, Viking dual ovens, and a breakfast bar. Upstairs, the primary bedroom enjoys beautiful views, vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, access to an outdoor deck, and an en-suite bathroom with a marble shower/soaking tub and bidet. There is a second oceanfront bedroom with deck access and an additional bedroom and full bathroom on the second floor. On the entry level, there is a fourth bedroom currently set up as an office. Other features include a 2-car garage and driveway that could fit an additional 2 cars. This special property served as home and inspiration to the musician who created countless hits and movie scores, including Academy Award-winning “Moon River” from Breakfast at Tiffany’s and the iconic Pink Panther theme. This is a rare opportunity to own a beautiful piece of history!
