Description

With 80 feet of beach frontage, non-stop sunrise-to-sunset ocean and island views, and magnificent, open interiors, this Carbon Beach contemporary is both private refuge and luxurious gathering place. Four separate decks and vanishing walls of glass define a lifestyle of relaxed elegance just steps from the sand. The ever-changing vistas take in a wave-fringed panorama from Point Dume to the Malibu Pier to the sparkling lights of the Queen's Necklace. A gated entry opens into a spacious, palm-lined courtyard leading to the glass front door, which offers a first tantalizing view of the ocean. Within, tranquil, ocean-view spaces are luminous with Portuguese limestone floors, wide windows, and the serene illumination of an enormous atrium skylight. With gorgeous built-in wood cabinetry and gallery walls suitable for a museum-quality art collection, the indoor-outdoor living room opens seamlessly to a full-width beachfront deck complete with ceramic tile floors, al fresco dining area, ample seating, Lynx barbecue center, and built-in tiled hot tub. Inside, the spectacular entertaining space features a fireplace, a wet bar, a conversation lounge, and a beautiful dining area that opens into an interior garden courtyard. The adjacent kitchen is equipped for the professional chef, with generous wood cabinets, granite countertops, an island with bar seating, soffit lighting, a chandelier breakfast area, and sliding doors to the oceanfront deck. Also on the home's main level are two en-suite bedrooms, one currently serving as a gym, plus a powder room. On the upper floor, accessible by stairs or elevator and arrayed around a mezzanine-style walkway beneath the atrium skylight, there are three oceanfront suites, each with a view balcony, and a laundry room with a dog-washing station. The primary suite is a serene retreat with fireplace, large walk-in closet, spa-style bath, and a separate office with sink and beverage cooler. The home has numerous smart-home features, including three-zone air conditioning, security, central vacuum, water filtration, and more. There is garage parking for three vehicles, with a second washer dryer in the garage, plus additional guest parking in the front courtyard. Located on one of Southern California's most desirable stretches of coastline, this stunning architectural residence is both contemporary and timeless.
