Retro-Futuristic 'Miami Vice' Mansion in Oxnard Lists for $2.695 Million

A waterfront home in Oxnard, California, with a distinctive aesthetic inspired by the 1980s television show "Miami Vice" has been listed for sale at $2.695 million. The property, located in the Mandalay Bay community, features a bold neon exterior, extensive use of glass bricks, and a direct waterfront presence.

The home, situated at 2150 Napoli Drive, offers nearly 4,000 square feet of living space. It includes four bedrooms and three bathrooms. A significant feature is the private 50-foot boat dock easement on one of the area's wider channels, providing access to Channel Islands Harbor. The property is positioned about 90 minutes from Los Angeles, between Malibu and Santa Barbara.

While the exterior boasts a "Miami Vice"-inspired design with sculptural elements and custom metal gates, the interior offers a more understated elegance. Soaring double-height ceilings, open spaces, a muted color palette, and walls of glass contribute to a light and airy atmosphere. The layout includes living spaces anchored by a fireplace, a chef's kitchen, and a games room. Upstairs, the bedrooms each feature a private balcony, and the primary suite includes a waterfront terrace.

Listing agents noted that a comparable property in areas like Miami's prime waterways or Los Angeles' Marina Del Rey could command a significantly higher price, potentially closer to $8 million. The Oxnard location is presented as offering substantial value for its waterfront lifestyle, house size, and waterway access at its current asking price. The home's position on a cul-de-sac and its river rock stream at the entrance add to its appeal.
