About

Originally constructed in 1959 and thoughtfully reimagined by renowned architect Ray Kappe in 2000, 19854 Pacific Coast Highway was a landmark of modern coastal living. Tragically lost in the Palisades Fire of 2025, the property now presents a rare and extraordinary opportunity for rebirth.

Thanks to the suspension of the California Coastal Commission approval process and the California Environmental Quality Act for this site, a like-for-like rebuild is permitted—preserving the original structure’s height, bulk, and placement. In today’s zoning landscape, such a build would no longer be allowed, making this a truly once-in-a-lifetime chance to recreate a modern architectural gem right on the Pacific Ocean.

The previous home featured over 2,650 square feet of interior living space, including 3 bedrooms, 2-1/2 bathrooms, a two-car garage (400 sq ft), and 240 sq ft of oceanfront decking. Seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living, the property offered panoramic views of the ocean and cityscape, creating an idyllic, private coastal retreat.

Now, the legacy of this iconic residence awaits its next chapter.
