Property Detail

Description

A mid-century masterpiece created by iconic Malibu architect Doug Rucker, this single-level Sycamore Park garden home blends exceptional privacy and majestic ocean and coastline views. Glass-wrapped rooms face onto private, lighted tropical gardens landscaped with palms, fruit trees, birds of paradise, bright bougainvillea, and multiple fountains. A picturesque central courtyard rock garden opens to the expansive backyard. In addition to wraparound glass, the interior detailing is classic mid-century: wood ceilings with massive beams and lustrous floors of black slate, flagstone, tile, and hardwood. The gated property of approximately 0.6 acre features a verdant front yard with a pergola-shaded porch and a wide, welcoming, glass-striped front door. Ocean views are on display immediately, the open layout flowing effortlessly from family/media room to sunken living room to kitchen. The living room features a large woodburning fireplace, a built-in sofa, and flagstone and black-slate floors. The ocean-view kitchen, newly updated with top-quality appliances, quartz countertops, and tile backsplash has a huge island with bar seating. Behind the family room is a bedroom/office with a powder room. Off the kitchen, a hallway leads to two more bedrooms, including the tranquil primary suite, complete with a brand-new skylight bath and wraparound glass walls opening to the backyard. The expansive grounds feature an enormous wood deck with a barbecue and room for dining plus areas with lawn, gravel, and covered patios for entertaining, recreation and, potentially, a pool. Views from the backyard highlight Point Dume, coastline, the ocean, and glorious sunsets. The home has a two-car garage with laundry facilities, plus room for ten vehicles in the driveway and additional street parking. With easy access to hiking trails and Escondido Beach, this wonderful Malibu retreat includes entry to the Sycamore Park Tennis Club.
