Experience elevated coastal living in this rare, one of a kind mid-century architectural masterpiece set atop solid bedrock with unobstructed panoramic views stretching from crashing whitewater to Catalina Island. This iconic 1962 residence, originally designed and built by acclaimed actor and former Screen Actors Guild president Dana Andrews, offers a remarkable blend of timeless design, privacy, and enduring prestige. Completely reimagined and rebuilt in 2009, the home was taken down to the studs and reconstructed with exceptional craftsmanship, seamlessly marrying mid-century character with modern luxury. Walls of glass frame the Pacific Ocean, flooding the interiors with natural light and creating the extraordinary sensation of floating above the sea, where sunrise coffees and sunset evenings become part of everyday life. Designed for both grand entertaining and intimate living, the home features four spacious bedrooms and five beautifully appointed baths. A stylish game room adds a relaxed social space, while a versatile garden room or creative studio offers endless flexibility.

The setting provides a remarkable canvas for creating a restorative sanctuary designed around health, relaxation, and connection to nature. This is more than a home, it is a private coastal sanctuary, a piece of architectural history, and a truly irreplaceable offering for the buyer seeking breathtaking views, architectural significance, and refined Southern California living at its most refined, peaceful, and inspiring.
