Nothing can prepare you for the endless views of the ocean that greet you the moment you arrive at this Malibu home, perched high on a hill in the Carbon Canyon. It’s a vista best seen from the dramatic pool and sun decks – the spot to while away the afternoon and soak up the sunshine. Step inside, and this home keeps getting better. The owner is an architect and designed this home himself – and it shows. You’ll see every corner of the property has been thoughtfully considered to take in those outside panoramas. We particularly love how they have mixed original mid-century furniture into the interiors to soften the modern exterior and add some character. And whilst you may wish to hide away from it all with your special someone and never leave, you’ll be surprised just how close you are to the action of Malibu. In less than ten minutes you can be at some of the region’s best beaches or amid the chilled vibes of downtown Malibu. Nobu for dinner with a table overlooking the Pacific Ocean anyone?
