About this home

Set on more than an acre of land atop of a covetable ocean-view site in Brentwood, this classic 1949 mid-century modern property presents the opportunity to expand upon the architectural pedigree of the existing residence or to entirely re-envision a new estate. The existing single-story home offers the iconic principles of its mid-century modern design: clean lines, natural materials, and the seamless flow of indoor-outdoor living. The property features 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, an office, and a den, opening into the lush surrounding grounds. The site itself, which sits among the distinguished estates of Kenter Canyon, offers unobstructed ocean views of the iconic Southern California "Queen's Necklace", the sparkling coastline from the Palos Verdes Peninsula up to Malibu. Per Underbuilt, options of restoration or redevelopment include an addition and remodel totaling approximately 8,988 square feet or a full teardown with the ability to rebuild up to approximately 10,786 square feet. This is the first time the property has been offered on the market with an asking price below $8,000,000. Whether preserved, expanded, or entirely reimagined, this exceptional property blends natural serenity with proximity to Los Angeles' finest dining, shopping, and lifestyle.

Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1949, features a significantly updated kitchen with modern, high-end stainless steel appliances, contemporary cabinetry, and solid surface countertops, along with updated tile flooring and recessed lighting in visible living areas. However, the MLS description explicitly presents options for a 'full teardown' or an 'extensive remodel' to expand the residence. This suggests that while certain areas have received substantial updates, the overall structure or major systems (not fully visible) are likely aged and may not meet current luxury standards, necessitating significant future investment beyond minor repairs. The home is maintained and livable, but its age and the implied potential for redevelopment place it in the 'Fair' category, indicating it's aged but maintained with occasional updates, and major components may be functional but outdated.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Panoramic Ocean Views: Offers unobstructed, iconic 'Queen's Necklace' ocean and coastline views from Palos Verdes to Malibu, a highly coveted and value-driving feature in this market.
Premier Brentwood Location: Situated on a covetable ocean-view site in Brentwood's Kenter Canyon, an exclusive area known for distinguished estates and proximity to Los Angeles' finest amenities.
Exceptional Development Potential: Presents a rare opportunity for significant expansion (up to 8,988 sqft) or a complete rebuild (up to 10,786 sqft), allowing for a custom luxury estate tailored to a discerning buyer.
Generous Acre-Plus Lot: Boasts over an acre (45,052 sqft) of land, providing ample space, privacy, and a substantial footprint for a grand residence, which is rare for such a prime location.
Mid-Century Modern Pedigree: Features a classic 1949 mid-century modern design with iconic principles, offering architectural charm and a foundation for a stylish renovation or preservation.

Cons

Substantial Redevelopment Investment: The property is explicitly positioned as a redevelopment opportunity, implying significant additional capital expenditure for expansion, renovation, or a full teardown beyond the initial purchase price.
Dated Existing Structure: Built in 1949, the current 2,468 sqft residence is likely dated and will require extensive modernization or a complete overhaul to align with contemporary luxury standards and maximize the site's potential.
High Barrier to Entry: The nearly $8 million asking price, coupled with the necessity for substantial additional investment for redevelopment, creates a high barrier to entry, narrowing the target buyer demographic to ultra-luxury clients or experienced developers.
