MidCenturyModern

This private and charming Point Dume mid-century ranch home is spacious and open, with wonderful indoor-outdoor flow, expansive front and backyards, a lovely guest cottage, and beach keys to Little Dume. The fully renovated single-level home with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms and the guesthouse with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, are set on an acre of property with gates and privacy hedges, gorgeous gardens, mature trees, and two driveways providing ample space for multiple vehicles. The interior features high beamed ceilings and hardwood floors, a huge stone fireplace in the living room, a spacious dining room, and a beautifully equipped kitchen with an island, wood countertops, bar seating, and loads of cupboards and storage space. The living room opens to the back deck, while the dining room and kitchen open onto the side deck. Off the entry, a barn door in the hallway opens to the laundry room, and another opens to the powder room. Further along the hall are three en-suite bedrooms, including the primary suite, which has a huge closet and a marble-tiled bath complete with a fireplace. At the front of the house, the sensational grounds feature a circular drive, two fountains, a small gazebo, an outdoor dining area, a generous lawn, and a welcoming front porch that looks out at an enormous fragrance and flower garden with meandering pathways. At the side of the house, a large deck provides an outdoor living area for relaxed evening entertaining. The deck wraps around to the covered back porch, which has a sitting area, and the backyard provides additional areas for seating and recreation, plus a Caldera spa. The home's second driveway opens at the back of the house, with room for six or more vehicles, and a shed. Flagstones in the back lawn lead to the air-conditioned guest cottage, which has a wooden front deck, a large living room with high, beamed ceilings, a gorgeous kitchen, and two bedrooms. Behind the guest house is a surfboard rack and an outdoor shower. More than just a home, this private compound is a tranquil getaway for easy Malibu living and entertaining.
