About This Home
As of August 2023**Please submit all offers by Wednesday, 05/24 by 6 pm.** Set at the end of a cul-de-sac with ocean and mountain views, this exceedingly private architectural home is spacious and filled with natural light. The approximately .65-acre gated lot is beautifully manicured with gardens and mature trees for maximum views and generous indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. The lovely ocean-view living/dining room, with high ceilings, wood floors, a fireplace, and wraparound windows, opens directly to the very private backyard, as does the adjacent family room/kitchen. With skylights, a center island, top-quality appliances, and ample custom cabinets, the chef's kitchen has bar seating and views through the comfortable family room to the backyard and side gardens. On the ground floor, there are three bedrooms, one en-suite with ocean views, plus a laundry room. One level up is an office/bedroom with gorgeous sweeping ocean views, high ceilings, and wood floors. An additional four steps up lead to two more bedroom suites, including the harmonious primary retreat, which has a fireplace, a sitting area, a large walk-in closet, a private lounging deck, gorgeous ocean and mountain views, and a luxurious bathroom with a huge ocean-view picture window. The backyard has a broad ocean and mountain-view lawn for relaxing and entertaining, a pool and multi-level pool deck with an ocean-view dining area, plus steps that lead down to an ultra-private ocean and mountain view flagstone patio for coffee, cocktails, and star-gazing. In addition to a two-car garage, the property has driveway parking for two additional vehicles. Centrally located to Malibu, and close to Topanga Canyon and Palisades Village, this charming contemporary is exceptional for its privacy, views, and large, light-filled rooms.
