Broad Beach Beauty: 31558 Victoria Point, Malibu

Tucked Inside a Gated Malibu Community—31558 Victoria Point, Malibu a Bright Contemporary Residence is Designed Around Easy Beachside Living and Vivid Ocean Views

The gently curving shoreline of Broad Beach is a vision that always beckons. So too does the sight of its palm trees bathed in golden Pacific Ocean light, and the rhythm of cascading waves folding into sandy shores. Victoria Point Road, a gated lane located directly off Broad Beach Road, is an ideal spot to luxuriate in the splendor of one of Malibu‘s finest beaches.

“It’s a very nice community,” real estate agent Heather Bell of The Agency says of this cozy neighborhood of mellow streets lined with tidy, colorful landscaping. “It’s beautiful, private and very secure.”

By way of Hollywood history, it’s also the street where Steve McQueen once lived.

At 31558 Victoria Point Road, a dense wood gate and lush gardens usher you further into a solo realm of nature and tranquility. Open the front door and a shock of blue greets you—along with vistas of ocean, sky and mountains. And great design. The approximately 4,200-square-foot sun-splashed Malibu haven is the result of a recent $3 million overhaul by award-winning local design-build firm, Busch Design Build.

“The homeowners took it down to the studs,” says the agent. “They completely redid everything, and did a beautiful job.”

The project transformed the 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath residence into an elegant hideaway dressed in luxurious materials—from onyx countertops to elegant flooring from bespoke tile house Mission Tile West. At its center is an open-plan living room and dining room that merge with the outdoors via oversized slider doors and picture windows.

“It’s just a couple of houses away from being on the sand,” notes Heather Bell of the location.

The advantage is that you are immersed in this exquisite natural setting, complete with soft Pacific breezes, while enjoying an elevated position above the beach—which the designers used to full advantage throughout the floorplan.

The interchange of indoor and outdoor spaces is a hallmark of 31558 Victoria Point. The main balcony is an everyday living space where you can lounge and dine over wide-screen panoramas of sea and sky. First dawn is enjoyed from the comfort of the king-size primary suite, which occupies its own wing on the main floor.

From here, you can step onto a balcony to savor the morning light and air. Or enjoy coffee amid views of green mountains in another open-air space; this one adjacent to a spa bathroom decked in a well-textured mix of grainy wood and glossy stone. For those who desire single-floor living, the floorplan has main public spaces, along with its primary suite and a bright office, on the entry floor.

“It’s just a beautifully turnkey, easy living house,” describes Heather Bell. 

31558 Victoria Point feels freshly contemporary to the core. There are solar panels for power and a whole house fresh-air system (by Zehnder) that continually shuttles purified air into all living spaces.

“There’s also an Enphase battery system so you are never without power,” adds Heather Bell.

And the beach is just steps away. Inside the secured gates of the Victoria Point community, you feel free to stroll barefoot to the sand anytime: For a vigorous swim at dawn, a mid-day surf session between meetings, or a sunset stroll to cast away the pressures of the day.

“The beaches are quiet and tend to only have people from the neighborhood,” the agent points out.

When you arrive home, there’s a private patio for more luxuriating in the sun and an outdoor shower for rinsing off. When you feel like stepping out, Trancas Market is only a mile away.

“Trancas Market has amazing restaurants, shopping, and a grocery store,” notes Heather Bell. “All you need is right there.”

There’s a host of other shops and eateries within a 10-minute drive, and Pacific Palisades and Thousand Oaks are a half-hour away by car. Notable is that the nearest road is Broad Beach Road, which runs parallel to PCH while being far enough to filter out noise and traffic.

“Broad Beach Road is quite a distance from PCH,” Heather Bell explains. “You can hear the ocean, but you don’t hear PCH.”

Back home, life is easy. In the living room, flames flicker in the fireplace and ocean views dominate. The kitchen, a hub of 31558 Victoria Point, is a sleekly inviting place with minimalist, custom cabinets and hearty Caesarstone countertops. There are gleaming fixtures by luxury makers Dornbracht and a suite of appliances by Sub-Zero and Wolf. And more Pacific Ocean views.

“It’s very modern but still warm,” says Heather Bell of the style.

You can sit at the built-in bright banquette and watch the bob of white-cap waves in the water, or dine on an adjoining deck that’s nicely cloistered with old-growth trees and thick shrubs.

The lower level is home to a sun-splashed family room and three more roomy bedrooms, with bathrooms sporting a different designer tile scheme. It’s the ideal floor for housing children or visitors; and like the main floor, there are ample ocean views and points of connection with the outdoors. You can soak up the sun on a peaceful oceanview terrace or wander along paved pathways, exploring the nooks of the deftly landscaped lot. Or venture down to the captivating coastline.

“Victoria Point is very desirable, and not many properties ever come up for sale in this neighborhood,” states Heather Bell.

Once they arrive, homeowners tend to stay in this community where privacy and easy living rule.

“Most residents have been here for a really long time and they love it. It’s really a special spot.”
