31544 Broad Beach Road, Malibu, CA, 90265

A residence of exceptional comfort, this Broad Beach gated home combines contemporary openness with exquisite Craftsman carpentry and appealing indoor-outdoor flow. With ocean views, wraparound decks, and beautiful landscaping, the stunning property offers easy access to Lechuza Beach, one of the most coveted, sandy beaches in Malibu. The generous use of wood and stone creates a tranquil atmosphere of natural beauty. The main living area, with oak floors and large ocean- and garden-view windows on three sides, features a very comfortable living room and an open dining area. The living and dining rooms each have French doors opening onto the expansive teak deck and private backyard entertaining area, which has an outdoor living room with a wide stone fireplace and ocean views, and, across a stretch of lawn, a separate platform with a large Jacuzzi. A Craftsman-style masterpiece, the woodwork of the central staircase extends to separate the kitchen from the dining area, complete with inset beverage and wine coolers. With more beautiful cherry-wood cabinetry and Carrara marble countertops, the kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line stainless appliances, including a glass-front Sub-Zero refrigerator. A hallway off the dining room leads to a tiled bathroom with backyard access, an en-suite bedroom/office, and a laundry room. At the top of the beautiful staircase is a balcony overlooking the front yard, rooftops, and the coastal range. There are three bedrooms on this level, including the spacious owner’s sanctuary, with ocean views, beam and truss ceilings, stone fireplace, lovely marble bath, and French doors to a full-width balcony and expansive ocean-view deck. In addition to the inviting front and back yards, the home has side yards, one with an outdoor shower with double shower heads. The two-car garage is outfitted with wood cabinets, hanging racks for surfboards and other large equipment, and a Tesla connector. With the appeal of a beach home and the sophistication of an entertainer’s retreat, this Broad Beach residence is a rare treasure in one of Malibu’s most exclusive and desirable communities.
