This architecturally significant Buff & Hensman mid-century modern residence, located in the exclusive Malibu Colony, reflects the architects' signature wood-and-glass language that shaped Southern California coastal design. The home preserves its original design intent while introducing a clean, contemporary sensibility.A private gated entry opens to a gravel drive court and a limestone approach framed by mature sycamores, with a tranquil front water feature. This rare, enclosed front courtyard offers a level of space and privacy seldom found in the Colony.Inside, the residence unfolds through an open-concept plan with five bedrooms and five bathrooms, soaring ceilings, and a sculptural floating staircase defined by solid white oak treads set against a dramatic wall of glass. The kitchen is designed as a minimalist centerpiece with Gaggenau appliances, streamlined cabinetry, and a generous island for everyday living and entertaining. Integrated Control4 automation and whole-home audio support seamless indoor-outdoor functionality.The primary suite offers a quiet retreat with mountain and ocean views, a spa-inspired bath finished in honed limestone and white oak, a carved rigato stone bathing niche, private water closet, and dual custom closets.A French grey plaster pool anchors the outdoor experience alongside an outdoor sauna, complemented by a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and multiple gathering areas designed for year-round coastal living.Privately gated with approximately 50 feet of street frontage and deeded beach access reserved for a limited group of homeowners, the property pairs privacy, security, and proximity to the shoreline within one of Malibu's most coveted enclaves.
