Description
Set among the mountains just minutes from the beach, this peaceful retreat offers a rare balance of privacy, nature, and tranquility, with sweeping views of Malibu Bowl. This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home is set across a rare double lot creating a sense of space and separation that's hard to find. High ceilings, hardwood floors, and an abundance of natural light define the open layout, complemented by travertine stone and a wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen and bathrooms feature a timeless design focused on function and clean modern aesthetics. The kitchen includes a built-in, full-height Thermador Professional 24-inch stainless steel wine refrigerator with approximately 98-bottle capacity. Outdoor living is exceptional, creating a natural extension of the interior spaces. A large, expansive deck takes full advantage of the mountain and canyon backdrop, with ample room for al fresco dining, lounging, and entertaining, complete with a built-in BBQ. Tucked away at the rear of the property, a private, thoughtfully designed area features an Endless Pool, ideal for swim-in-place exercise, fitness, and relaxation. Additional features include a 2-car garage with Tesla charger, roof sprinkler system, and Starlink connectivity. Freshly painted and move-in ready, the home is located within the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District, including its newer school facilities.
