More Insights

Built in 1975 (50 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1975, this property has undergone extensive and recent high-quality renovations. The listing explicitly mentions a 'new generator, new septic system, new roof, and fresh interior and exterior paint,' indicating significant updates to major systems and the exterior. The interior images, particularly of the kitchen and bathrooms, showcase modern, high-end finishes, appliances, and fixtures (e.g., white shaker cabinets, subway tile backsplash, professional-grade kitchen appliances, spa-inspired primary bathroom with a clawfoot tub and large step-in shower). The oak flooring appears new or recently refinished, and all visible components meet current quality standards, presenting as virtually new with no deferred maintenance. The overall aesthetic is contemporary and luxurious, aligning with a property extensively renovated within the last 5 years.

About this home

Experience the magic of Point Dume in this exceptional compound, privately tucked behind gates on coveted Cliffside Drive, where unobstructed ocean views pour into nearly every room. Set directly across from the iconic Point Dume Headlands, this lush, resort-style sanctuary embodies the quintessential Malibu lifestyle. Thoughtfully updated with a new generator, new septic system, new roof, and fresh interior and exterior paint, the home seamlessly blends modern comfort with coastal luxury. Designer-furnished with a boutique-hotel sensibility, the interiors feel warm, stylish, and effortlessly refined. The main level offers beautifully curated living spaces. Massive sliders line the entire front of the home, welcoming cool ocean breezes and creating an ideal indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining on the front patio. This floor includes one bedroom with an en-suite bath, a formal living room with a fireplace and sun-filled windows, oak flooring throughout, beamed ceilings and a separate library/den with its own bathroom, and a spacious media room with direct access to the backyard. A double washer-dryer laundry room with an additional full bath completes the level. Upstairs on the second level, the serene ocean-view primary suite features a luxurious spa-inspired bathroom with a large step-in shower, clawfoot tub, and dual cedar walk-in closets. Down the hallway are two additional bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and private deck. Outdoors, the property unfolds into a private paradise: a graceful coral tree is the focus as you pull into the private entrance. A large grassy yard, a gated and newly resurfaced tennis court with night lighting, a deep kidney-shaped pool, a charming treehouse, an outdoor BBQ area, and a cozy fire pit, each surrounded by mature tropical landscaping that ensures complete privacy allows one to be fully emerged in the property with no need to go anywhere but stay home. Just steps from the sand and moments from hiking trails, whale-watching lookouts, local restaurants, and everyday amenities, this rare Point Dume estate captures the true essence of Malibu living. A true trophy property in every sense. Available furnished.
