When Steve McQueen was the King of Hollywood, he longed for a place where he could peacefully walk along the beach with his wife, Ali MacGraw. He found it in Malibu, California, long before it became overrun with celebrities and paparazzi. Built in the 1970s, his home still stands out from the crowd.

Set high on a rocky bluff in order to ensure privacy while providing an unobstructed view, the four-bedroom, five-bath residence—which was sold by McQueen’s son Chad in 2020—has recently been extensively renovated, yet still exudes McQueen’s sense of style. The crisp white exterior is all clean lines with jutting decks, expansive windows, and retracting glass walls. Located within the exclusive gated community of Victoria Point, the home’s three levels afford unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean. A private staircase allows easy access to the beach.

To bring the beach atmosphere inside in a much more extreme manner than usually available in a traditionally designed residence, all three levels of the home can be opened in order to allow the ocean breeze in or closed to secure them from inclement weather, while also giving the residence its distinctive appearance.

Those in the top level’s master suite enjoy the property’s best vantage point of the surroundings, as well as an exterior staircase that bypasses the main entry for private access. The center level has a large, airy living room with a vaulted ceiling that’s ideal for family gatherings or entertaining, equipped with a fireplace to chase away the chill of cool ocean nights. The well-equipped kitchen is set slightly higher above the living room, with ample granite counter food preparation areas and an adjacent dining area.
