Set behind gates on nearly an acre, just steps from Zuma Beach, this beautifully renovated and thoughtfully designed single-level contemporary offers a rare combination of privacy, coastal views and chic indoor-outdoor Malibu living. Surrounded by resort-like grounds, this approximately 4,200-square-foot Malibu Park home features soaring ceilings, expansive walls of glass and ocean, mountain and sunset views. Sunlit living and dining spaces open to lush landscaping, creating a seamless connection between the interiors and the serene outdoor spaces. Integrated indoor-outdoor A/V systems complement the home's effortless entertaining flow. The 4-bedroom, 6-bath residence includes an exceptionally spacious primary suite with generous dual walk-in closets and an adjoining office with its own bathroom and steam shower. Beautifully appointed and generously proportioned guest suites and a chef's kitchen featuring Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances complete the interiors. Outside, mature palms, tall hedges and expansive flat, grassy lawns create a private setting for a pool and spa, outdoor kitchen, and multiple dining and lounging areas. A lighted sport court is the perfect venue for a game of basketball or pickleball with friends and family, while secluded garden spaces including a fountain courtyard and a sitting area overlooking the neighboring horse property offer quieter places to unwind. A private driveway, large motor court for guests and attached 3-car garage complete the property. With Zuma Beach an easy stroll in one direction and Malibu Middle and High Schools in the other, this is a rare chance to enjoy the space, privacy and famously-relaxed sophistication of Malibu living whether as a comfortable and inviting family home, a weekend getaway from town, or a coastal vacation property.
