43 Oceanaire Drive

Property Overview
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. An additional large storage room can easily become a wine cellar, wellness retreat, gym or playroom. The three-car garage includes a generous work area, ideal for collectors, hobbyists, or those who value space and organization. It is also has plumbing in the lower level for a jacuzzi and or a cold plunge. Signature Palos Verdes stone, quarried directly from the property, is thoughtfully integrated throughout the home, grounding the architecture in a natural, organic elegance that is increasingly rare. Outdoors, a serene koi pond enhances the tranquil setting and can be converted into a custom pool if desired. 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.
