Tucked behind the guarded gates of the exclusive Malibu Colony, this reimagined mid-century modern masterpiece originally crafted by iconic architects Buff & Hensman embodies the essence of casual California living. Their signature blend of wood and glass architecture, which defined 1960s coastal style, lives on in this striking home, now thoughtfully elevated by award-winning architectural designer Warren Garrett. His vision honors the home's original design while introducing modern sophistication.Set beneath a canopy of mature sycamores, the residence is approached via a sandblasted limestone path that echoes the organic textures of the nearby shoreline. Inside, a dramatic open-concept layout unfolds across five bedrooms and five bathrooms, with soaring ceilings and a floating staircase wrapped in wide-plank white oak and framed by a floor-to-ceiling glass wall that invites in abundant natural light.The chef's kitchen is a sleek, functional centerpiece outfitted with Gaggenau appliances, minimalist cabinetry, and a spacious island perfect for culinary exploration or casual gatherings. Throughout, the home is outfitted with Universal Control4 automation and an integrated sound system, inside and out.The serene primary suite offers a private retreat, featuring a spa-inspired bathroom with honed limestone, white oak detailing, a hand-carved rigato stone bathing niche, private water closet, and dual custom closets. A secluded balcony reveals sweeping mountain and ocean views, creating a tranquil haven. Outdoor living is redefined in this secluded sanctuary, where a shimmering pool anchors the courtyard. The outdoor kitchen fully equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and generous seating sets the stage for unforgettable al fresco dining under the stars. Privately gated from the street with nearly 50 feet of frontage, this estate offers an unmatched sense of seclusion within the Colony. While just steps from your deeded, beautifully appointed beach access reserved for a select group of homeowners you can enjoy complete privacy and round-the-clock security. This rare offering captures the very best of Malibu Colony living: architectural significance, modern luxury, and the ultimate connection to land, sea, and sky.
