The sale follows a $16.995 million November 2022 listing after a seven‑figure renovation by songwriter Ammar Malik and his wife Chyna Bardarson. Coldwell Banker’s listing notes the property’s four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a three‑car garage, and a private staircase leading to the beach.
Malik, who co‑wrote Maroon 5’s “Moves Like Jagger,” bought the home in September 2020 for $8.35 million and spent well into seven figures upgrading plumbing, electrical, and structural systems, according to an interview with Inman.
Steve McQueen used the residence as a quiet retreat during the 1970s, hosting walks along the beach with his then‑wife Ali MacGraw, giving the house a legacy that Coldwell Banker highlighted in its marketing.
The September 2023 sale price of $13.6 million came after a June 2023 relist at $14.995 million, reflecting a broader trend of Malibu luxury properties trading below initial asking prices.
Local residents welcomed the sale, noting the home’s historic significance and the renewed access to its private beach, a feature that has long been coveted by the gated Victoria Point community.
