With the blue expanse of the Pacific in one direction and the rolling green foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains in the other, this brand-new Mediterranean modern residence is open, beautifully detailed, and awash with natural light. Vaulted ceilings, cascading chandeliers, expansive art-gallery walls, and wood floors set the tone for this carefully designed and expertly finished home. Perched above Zuma on a lot of approximately 0.47 acre, the residence has comfortable view decks and approved plans for a pool. The main living area is inviting and open, with multiple sets of sliding glass doors suggesting easy indoor-outdoor entertaining. A huge pivoting glass entry door offers tantalizing sight lines as it welcomes visitors to living, dining, and kitchen areas. The living room, detailed with a sleek linear fireplace, opens on two sides to a large wraparound deck where there is ample room for dining, lounging, and enjoying the gorgeous sunsets and ocean views. Across the entry hall is a spacious dining area, also opening to the deck, and the all-Thermador kitchen. Beautiful custom cabinets and elegant tile work define a highly functional and efficient chef's domain with marble countertops, an island with bar seating, a breakfast area, and a butler's pantry. The home's four bedrooms are spacious and serene, with high beamed ceilings and wood floors. The primary suite has a private balcony, a walk-in closet, and a sliding barn door to the lovely spa-style bath. A floating-step stairway leads to a top floor aerie with windows on three sides and enchanting ocean and mountain views. This very special space could easily serve as an extra guest room, a yoga or art studio, an office, media room, or library. The home has a pristine two-car garage and room for garden and patio entertaining in addition to the main deck. This is a handsome and comfortable home convenient to Point Dume, beaches, trails, and all the pleasures of Malibu living. READ AGENT REMARKS REGARDING SQUARE.
