Perched above the sandy expanse of Las Tunas Beach in a highly desirable close-in Malibu location, this bright beachfront home is updated, comfortable, and fully focused on the breathtaking views. A sweeping panorama of picturesque coastline includes the sparkling lights of the Queen's Necklace, the ever-changing sunrise-to-sunset ocean and sky, plus the distinctive contour of Catalina Island on the horizon. With oceanfront decks on two levels for lounging, dining, and entertaining, the home's clean lines, huge windows, and art-gallery walls reflect its mid-century origins. On the lower level, the main living area features an open living/dining great room complete with fireplace, a wall of built-in shelves and cabinets, a walk-in closet, an enormous picture window looking out to the sea, plus glass doors opening to the beachfront deck, where there is ample room for barbecues, al fresco dining, and lively gatherings. Steps from the deck lead down to the sandy beach. The kitchen, which also has sensational views, has Caesarstone countertops, top-quality appliances, an eat-in peninsula breakfast bar, and sliding glass doors to the deck. Also on this level is a bathroom and a guest bedroom. The primary suite and an additional office/bedroom occupy the upper floor, where the spacious primary commands gorgeous views from huge windows and from a private oceanfront balcony. This wonderful suite is complete with a built-in stereo system, sitting area, and an expansive spa-style marble bath. Off-street parking and a great location on Malibu's southernmost beach make this a year-round home with the feeling of a vacation retreat.
