Divine View Mountain Top Pool Oasis. Offer Deadline 06/18/2024, at 6:00 PM.A home provides shelter, and it can also inspire. On the border of Topanga and Malibu, the architectural Devine house, designed by award winning Marshall Lewis AIA, does both. Slip down the long private driveway, past ancient Oaks, to an astonishing abode on nearly 4.5 acres, seemingly one with the rolling coastal mountains. Sweeping 270 degree views take in the sunrise behind snow capped Mt Baldy, flow past the Queen's glittering necklace of the Santa Monica Bay coast, ending in sunsets over the Channel Islands. The wide Pacific is on full display. Pride of home is everywhere evident. The homeowners have been meticulous stewards of this veritable art piece of a home. Strong curved and angled walls open to bright light, open views, and a multitude of steel Fleetwood doors that bring the outside in. Swallows do aerobatics, skimming across the elegantly arched infinity pool. Hawks and Golden Eagles soar past the wraparound patio. The motorized pergola let's you choose; shade or sunlight. The great room's high angled ceiling comes a little closer to earth over the open dining room and chef's kitchen. A huge marble clad peninsula hosts a crowd, high end appliances ease the cooking, and white oak cabinetry has drawers for all the things. A walk-in pantry catches the overflow. A large bedroom on the first floor could work as an office or a den, flanked by a bathroom with a sliding door to a private garden. At the top of the stairs, a large loft is perfect for a gym, a library, or creative space. The curving walls of the owners suite lead to a private view deck where morning coffee or afternoon naps are de rigueur. Stroll between two walk-in closets to the bright, spacious, spa of a bath, with wrap-around vanities, walls of mirrors above, a glass walled shower and a sleek pedestal tub, both framed by stunning views. Two other bedroom suites round out this level, one with vast views of the ocean and hills, the other with a curved castle type wall, punctuated with windows. The finished 3-car garage comes with an electric vehicle charging station, and a spacious laundry area. Step down past the citrus grove to a bright, modern, two room cabin which is perfect for a home office, gym or art studio. You are minutes from Malibu or the Topanga village. Epic trails are nearby. The land is a resource that gives and gives. There are large swaths of flat, open space. Oak groves shade spots for quiet contemplation. There is parking for 15-20 cars, so you can host all the lovely get-togethers that bring people together. Expand the orchard, add a veggie garden, bring the chickens home to roost, add horse facilities. The possibilities are as endless as the views. |
