Brutalist Concrete Mansion by the Sea Snags a Buyer in SoCal

Within weeks of landing on the market, a concrete house with Pacific Ocean views has found a buyer.

The 5,616-square-foot minimalist abode in Cardiff by the Sea, CA, is listed for $8,998,000—down from its initial $10 million ask in 2022.

The home is pending sale, according to Realtor.com®.

Architect Sebastian Mariscal designed the brutalist-style home—made of poured concrete—for the sellers. It has won several awards, including a Record House designation from Architectural Record magazine.

Construction began in 2008 and wrapped up in 2012. Since then, the owners have lived in the home full time.

The second level includes the kitchen, living room, den, and outdoor space—all with ocean views.

On the main level, the home has 3.5 baths and three bedrooms, including a primary suite, which opens to the yard and pool area.

There’s also a gym and a bonus area that could be used for additional sleeping space.

Meticulous landscaping gives the home’s exterior an air of privacy and serenity.

Inside, walnut floors soften the board-formed concrete interiors, and mahogany doors do the same from the outside.

A rooftop deck with an outdoor kitchen provides great views, while the home’s living roof is environmentally advantageous.

And delightfully, an interior garden creates a verdant focal point.
