Description

Behind the heavily guarded gates of the prestigious Malibu Colony stands this reimagined post and beam mid-century modern home, originally designed by renowned architects Buff and Hensman; the iconic duo, whose residences epitomized casual California living in the 1960's, seamlessly blending wood and glass structures that gracefully connect with their natural surroundings. Award-Winning Architectural Designer Warren Garrett dramatically enhanced this notable home while preserving its original integrity and design intent. Mature sycamore trees frame the secluded, contemporary mid-century dwelling as a sandblasted and brushed limestone walkway mimics the organic texture of the nearby beachfront. An open-concept floor plan throughout this 5 bedroom and 5 bathroom home boasts voluminous ceilings upon entering which lead to a floating staircase clad with wide-plank, white oak flooring enclosed by a wall of glass effortlessly joining the living spaces together and flooding the home with natural light. The gourmet chef's kitchen features all Gaggenau appliances, sleek cabinetry, and a spacious island. The home is automated with Universal Control4 access and equipped with an interior and exterior sound system. The primary bedroom suite presents a calm refuge upon entry. The spa-like bathroom includes limestone and white oak accents, a hand-worked rigato bathing niche, private WC and spa-like shower, all being flanked by two custom closets. A private balcony beckons you to soak in the California sun and admire the mountain and ocean views. The outdoor retreat serves as a natural extension of the living quarters where a glistening pool takes center stage. An inviting outdoor kitchen, with state-of-the-art appliances and ample seating, offers the perfect opportunity for al fresco dining under the stars becoming a destination for relaxation and entertainment. This stunning property is gated from the street with a large private courtyard spanning approximately 50 feet of street frontage. This home truly offers the best of the Malibu Colony with 24 hour security and a level of privacy that does not exist on the beach side. One can escape to the privacy of this estate while still being only steps away from their deeded beach access which is a beautifully landscaped and furnished beachfront experience exclusively for the use of a limited amount of homeowners.
