Hey Luxury Home Show, I'm Sam Palmer from the agency and welcome to our oceanfront gem in the
heart of Malibu. And you can literally hear a pin drop here, it is the most calm tranquil place. Now
I play tennis, I love tennis and I don't think there's many better than this. And this almost
feels like you're in a complete different destination here. Before we start with the
inside of the house, I want to talk to you a little bit about the ground. So we're set over
one and a half acres on a 6,700 square feet structures. So we've got the main house, which
is a Spanish modern. Then up at the top, as you come through the sweeping gates, you have the
guest house, which has two bedrooms. You come down this long sweeping drive all the way to here,
while coming past the most fantastic tennis court you've ever seen. Behind me, we're going to show
you later the movie theater. We've got two bedrooms above us here and obviously driveway
big enough for about 25 cars. In the neighborhood, your next door neighbors are Cher, Simon Cowell
and Jane Seymour. And out the back of this property is some of the best views Malibu has
to offer. Now come inside and check it out. Welcome to the beautiful interior of this house.
First things that strike you are these beautiful lights by Floss. Secondly, you only notice it
when you come out. You've got these big 14 foot high ceilings and actually the ceiling heights in
this entryway change throughout the room. So above us with this beautiful wooden, then we've got
the beautiful skylight up the top there, which is kind of a bit reminiscent of a church.
And you come through into the dining room, this lovely table, again with the Floss lights above
it. And as you'll see here, as I mentioned here, the ceiling height has now come down to about 10
feet. Moving onwards in here, we've got the kitchen, but we'll show you that a little bit later.
But come through to the main area. Again, ceiling is a big thing of this home and a big interior
design tie. In the middle of the home, you've got this beautiful archway. Now, I personally love
arches in homes and this really, really sets the tone. So flowing into the great room now. Firstly,
you see the ceiling height has gone up again back to 12 feet. You see this coffered ceiling is
absolutely stunning and it's quite difficult. The interior designer here, Malgosia Migdal from
Europe, she has taken three different ceiling heights and put them all together in one space
and somehow it absolutely works. So you'll notice the lime wash on the walls and the way she's done
the furniture in here is she didn't want it to look staged. So she's used a collection of pieces.
She's used things from Minotti to Vladimir Kaigan and have made it look like a museum without
making it look like a museum. I love it. I think the furniture in here is absolutely stunning.
You see the white oak on the floors and it's all leading out here to the absolute masterpiece and
I think it's the best picture you'll ever see on any wall. So come outside and join me. So welcome
outside to the best part of the house. Firstly, I'm going to put these on because it's very bright
out here today. You've got this huge covered patio, you've got the dining area underneath.
Continued the lime wash throughout the whole of the outside. Underneath you've got heaters so even
in the winter months you can really enjoy outside here. The whole back of the house, every single
room opens up with these bifold metal doors so you'll see it on every single room. So you can
really, really enjoy this inside, outside living of California. You're coming down towards the pool
area, you've got the jacuzzi over on this side, the little footbridge over the water, steps down
onto the garden and good to know actually this is not the only garden in the home. So later on you're
going to see the main piece of grass up by the guest house and then you've got also the huge
tennis court so stay tuned for and watch that later. So coming over to one of two fire pits in this
area, the other one just located behind these beautiful gardens. You come down and sit around
this beautiful fire pit underneath this huge king palm. You can think about sitting there with your
friends and family, toasting marshmallows with your kids, it'd be absolutely amazing. With obviously
this as your backdrop and you can literally hear a pin drop here. It is the most calm, tranquil place
I think in the whole house. From this view right here you're obviously looking out the queen's
necklace so you're looking out of Santa Monica, Palos Verdes and Catalina Island right across. So
clear day today, we can see it so good and obviously at night, even last night when I was
here, you can actually see the homes all lit up so it is absolutely beautiful. You see dolphins
going across here quite regularly. Just below us we've got Malibu Road and we have got our own
staircase that takes us down to the beach which we'll show you later which is an amazing part of
this property. What's great as well is you can actually, if you're like me from England, you can
see your plane landing before you have to go and get on it at LAX. I think anyone who buys this house
is going to naturally just spend most of their time outside. What is remarkable about this home
is obviously because it's not brand new, it has been F many years, there's a great remodel.
You get all of this luscious landscaping which you don't get in new build homes. Next area that I love
is the next fire pit which is the sunken fire pit. You come down here and you're surrounded
by all of this beautiful lavender and flowers, greenery everywhere, rocks, you've got the stone,
the pebble stone and you've got this beautiful gas fire pit which would be lovely to sit down there
having a few drinks with your friends. Behind me here is actually the route that you'll take down
to the beach but we'll show you that a little bit later in the tour. So coming back up, again if
you're using this on a Sunday with the family and friends, you're going to definitely need an
outdoor kitchen. So this one is beautifully situated, again the limewash steam outside.
Now this kitchen is what everyone needs, especially like us with a family, got four kids, we're always
outside, kids are always in the pool, they're always toasting marshmallows, watching the sunset,
so you need a pizza oven. This one has got it, it's wood fired so they are going to taste absolutely
amazing. You've got the wood theme on the cupboards that have carried on, you've got your sinks here,
your large big sinks, your link stove here with your rotisserie as well and then you've even got
your food warmer for all your buns underneath. You've obviously got your fridges here to keep
the beers cold because obviously if you're out here you want to be having a party and then you've
got the bar set up here. So this is kind of what I would say the perfect California living style
and this was a home that I actually was really interested in with my wife. It really suited our
standard of living. We host lots of parties, especially lots of kids parties and one of the
things I love is that they put turf on the ground out here. Out in California it's quite hard to keep
your grass nice and green, out here we have lots of water slides going into the pool and slip and
slides, so here they just drain away which is lovely so you don't have to re-turf your grass
every time you have an event. We have got grass though further up and we will show you that a
little bit later. So right now I'm going to show you the inside kitchen which is probably the hub
of any family home, so follow me in. So you're coming into your beautiful kitchen and the first
thing that strikes me is these leather finish stone countertops and you'll see it here and you
even see up the wall. They haven't just kept the backsplash to here, they've gone for the whole
wall. You've got the beautiful window here to let in sunlight but they have gone really, really high
Obviously you've got the soft close drawers everywhere, you've got Miele appliances throughout
so usually you'll see in some homes they'll do the the cooker and they'll forget about the
the dishwashers etc. This has got the two to double dishwashers, all Miele as well. The other
ones here, you've got your two butler sinks, you've got your stove in right in the middle of the island
and then you've got your coffee makers, your double ovens and your toaster as well. Glass cabinets
all open there, you've got your double fridges, so much storage in this kitchen. You've got even
in here which I love, is this little charging point that they've put and hidden within the
stone. So it's just all them little finishes that make this exceptional. Loads of storage, top and
bottom and these beautiful wooden cabinets and obviously at the end here, sort of the focal point
is your wine cellar for the nights enjoying outside, straight to that fire pit and to the
bar area. But behind here again, more storage but you've got your powder room, your laundry room
and then your garage out the back. So coming back round, the kitchen when you're serving obviously
feeds straight out to the dining room. I want to show you probably my favourite room in the house
which is the primary bedroom. So again you're walking down this hallway, look at that beautiful
arch you've got here. It's absolutely incredible and you come in to what could only be described
as probably the best view of any bedroom in the world. You've got, first thing that strikes you
other than that insane view, is this fluted headboard. It is absolutely magnificent and again
you've got this beautiful arched ceiling. You then got a fireplace at the end of the bed,
some of them cosy nights when you've got these bi-fold doors closed,
keep nice and cosy watching the TV in here. So follow me in here, I'm going to show you to the
first bathroom. This is lucky because this has got two bathrooms and two closets at the moment and
there's actually a little bit of reconfiguration you can do in this home as well which I'll show
you in a second. So again you've got the beautiful vanity sink and just look at the design on this
sink with the gaps in it for drainage. It's incredible, you've got the bathtub facing the
pool and you've got this beautiful oversized shower with the seat inside it with only the
glass panel on one side so it's all open this side which is lovely. And then you've got the
first closet, this gorgeous island inside. Again soft closed drawers, shoes, double hanging height,
room for bags, no stone was left unturned with the finishes in here. You can see it and it strikes
you as soon as you walk in. So if you follow me over now I'll take you into the other side of the
bedroom and there's a few things you can do with this. Currently they've got it set up as if you
had a nursery so you've got this beautiful wide corridor that separates the two bathrooms as well
which is actually really rare especially in a home this size. So inside here again bathroom,
carbon copy of the sink in the other side, shower and then you have the closet inside here. Now
there is two ideas, obviously this backs onto the other closet so you could actually extend
the first closet outwards and take actually this bathroom out so you could then have one
gigantic closet. You've got the storage out here as well but then the reason why I mentioned the
change is because we've got this currently set up as a nursery, pretty extravagant nursery if you
ask me. But they've got the wardrobes here but this actually could become the second wardrobe
so obviously you would kit it out and make this a huge wardrobe and you've got a bathroom in here
and then you've got access to the outdoors here which is lovely so if you're getting dressed you
can have this open or you keep it as it is and you keep this as a secondary bedroom. Talking
of secondary bedrooms I want to show you these two here so separated by powder inside. First of
the two within this main house is in here now they've got it set up for two children here
obviously again all leading outside and all you see in here is this greenery just rolling in,
lime wash, beautiful lights inside, bathrooms. What's nice is they've even in a secondary bedroom
they've put a tub and the shower, beautiful sinks like you see in the primary bedroom and then a
lovely closet all built out ready to go. Absolutely fantastic. You come out on this side because
this is one of my favourite bedrooms obviously the powder in here which you'll see in a second
is absolutely stunning but coming out here obviously if you've got multiple children
they're probably all going to be fighting for this one because obviously it rolls straight onto the
pool onto the backyard it has the sea views but you've obviously got this beautiful cabinetry
in here for a coffee bar you've got fridges in here the way it's done and obviously even
the bedding that they've used here you can see how I say they haven't staged this house they've
left no stone unturned with the decor and expense that they've spent on all these fixtures and
the led lights that are in set underneath even storage above the tv unit which most people would
forget but it's so necessary in a home because where do you put all your things well this is
already thought of it obviously you've got them bifold metal doors again and then that is pretty
much us done in this main house so I want to take you up to the guest house and then we have our two
bedrooms and cinema room that the cinema room is pretty amazing so I want you to come and see it
so across the courtyard this is what I love about this home it's got all different little sections
about it and this is where our cinema room is and then we've got two bedrooms above so they've got
this room set up as a cinema room and I absolutely love this because you can also use this as a
sitting area I've got it currently because obviously we've got the blackout shades closed
I'm going to take you through and you're going to actually see how you can transition this
to a normal room we go from a cinema room all blacked out to then this beautiful room you've
got here that you can chill out with a bar area here again with these beautiful countertops but
now you can sit in here and chill out you've got a bar from there obviously you can see this can be
a bedroom as well if you if you needed that extra room but with eight bedrooms here I think you've
got more than enough room but you'll see even artwork underneath so when you're sitting and
you want to chill out watching a movie you close the curtains but when you want to be in here just
chilling out with friends maybe doing some work maybe using it as an office in the day with the
windows open you get this double room and I think you're going to see a lot more of that in LA
with the cinema room which is usually the furthest point of the house in the basement
slowly disappeared to become more of these rooms I think it's a really really clever idea
from the owner but if you follow me we'll go upstairs and I will show you the two bedrooms
upstairs so coming out of the cinema you come in again with these beautiful landscape gardens and
just above us you've got the lemon trees if you've got older kids they can have their own space
especially with the guest house as well but again this is almost could be a maid's room probably
the best maid's room in in the whole of LA if it was but again you'll see the fixtures and
fittings of upstairs beautiful bedroom beautiful sunlight you've even got an ocean view from in
here so on my right hand side here we've got the bathroom which then separates the sitting area
they've got it as a sitting area obviously it could be another bedroom again same fixtures
fittings and then they've got it set up as I say as a living area but this could be another
bedroom so you've got two bedrooms up here if you've got two older kids they can both share
this area fantastic or if you've got guests then they've got their own quarters they don't feel
like they're on top of you they don't have to come into you all the time to sit down they can
relax in here same as the guest house up the top just absolutely fantastic to have the options
so now we're going to go back up the driveway and I want you to follow me
because I want you to get a scope of actually how big this estate is this is really really
rare for Malibu Malibu homes are particularly smaller especially the ones on the on the ocean
front they don't have land with them this is so rare and obviously you just see all this greenery
and as I said before if this was a new development this would cost millions to put in if you were to
do this newly obviously what you've got behind here is this fantastic tennis court which is
really kind of a reflection of the property which is so private and why so many celebrities like
Cher, Simon Cowell, Jane Fonda all live here because nobody can see in either side so come
in with me to the tennis court but this beautiful firstly viewing deck you don't get many better
than this I've got to be a real roof on top of it so you can sit out here even if it's raining
raindrops coming off this roof is incredible and then freshly renovated now I play tennis I love
tennis and I don't think there's many better than this you see some tennis courts in LA and they
don't really have the baselines they don't have the space but what this also has which is really
rare and not allowed anymore is the floodlights so the floodlights have to be grandfathered in
in Malibu just imagine standing here serving up end of day and you're looking out in the mountains
in the background but it's kind of surreal for me from England standing there because this is kind
of a dream got palm trees mountain all of a sudden the house which seems so far away you're just in
your own little world so leaving the tennis court and kind of from here you get that beautiful flow
of the main house and you get that little peak of ocean just where that back palm tree is so come up
with me and this almost feels like you're in a complete different destination here so you've got
the pathways and just to give you an idea of how well manicured and how kept this property is
look hedges are all trimmed you've got obviously the orange trees out there you've got all of this
space here obviously you've got a garden here you've got big enough here to put in a paddle
court or a pickleball court even a little soccer pitch for your kids whatever you've got trampolines
you can utilize this grass or keep it in this pristine condition so follow me into the guest
house what your what strikes you here is this is not an afterthought by any any means they have used
all the same fixtures and fittings that they've used in the main house and you can see it as soon
as you walk in so what we've got here is we've got two bedrooms one with an ensuite got bathroom
and then we've got this beautiful kitchen here again with the same countertops that they use
beautiful sinks with the gaps in it you can even see the hardware they've used it is absolutely
stunning fridges again melee have not skimped on any appliances used in this house whatsoever
this one actually got me earlier because i was trying to open it to get the uh to get the freezer
i thought but no it is the bathroom to this bedroom here again with all the wood cabinetry
and a beautiful window overlooking the tennis court but so much storage in there so if you've
got older children this has got to be the best either home hangout or guests this has got to
be one of the best guest suites ever all looking out onto the rolling greens and the tennis court
again you could use this as well as a tennis house for your little parties and drinks and
if you're having functions up here this can be the main house you don't have to have everyone
in the main residence parking up here grass here so much fun and so much space to use
as i teased earlier we're back at that fire pit i want to show you one of the most amazing because
obviously we're set high up on the bluffs here and you're going to say well we're on the beach
i want to be on the beach well what you get here is the best of both worlds because you get firstly
the most amazing vantage point but then you also get this staircase which through all this forestry
and beautiful flowers leads you all the way down to the beach now this is a fantastic walk
and it keep you nice and fit but now we're down here to the most gorgeous views
so i hope you enjoyed this beautiful home as much as i do as being that i want to say thank you so
