12 Paradise Cove Rd, Malibu, CA 90265

This custom-built, organic-modern beach bungalow is located in the exclusive oceanside community of Paradise Cove, just steps from one of the most secluded, stunning beaches in Southern California. The subject of a recent feature in Architectural Digest, the home was created with the highest-quality craftsmanship and materials and inspired by Japanese and Scandinavian design (with a sprinkling of surfer vibes). The gorgeous exposed beams anchoring the space are just one sign that the property is a love letter to wood, with luxe walnut floors and warm cedar planks layering nearly every surface in the interior. The intentional design beautifully maximizes functionality, with thoughtful, elevated touches everywhere. Bespoke cabinetry and elegantly-crafted built-in furnishings are seamlessly woven throughout, amplifying the potential of the space while simultaneously enhancing aesthetics. The custom reading nook accented with a Noguchi pendant light is an especially lovely touch, and a perfect spot to relax after a day at the beach. In the designer kitchen with Viking range and chic Big Chill refrigerator, Schoolhouse Electric fixtures spotlight a spectacular butcher-block island and open shelving. In the welcoming bedroom warmly lit by soft recessed lighting, the custom closets practically disappear into the space. In the bathroom, variegated clay Zia tiles in the steam shower beautifully complement the woodwork, and are accented by a chic floating Kohler sink. The property also features a sweet sleeping loft with skylight and hatch window with ocean view, so you can check out the surf conditions from the privacy of your own home. The exterior of the house, painted in a soft sand shade by Kelly Wearstler for Farrow & Ball, reflects the stylish interior and underscores the fact that this one-of-a-kind home is a true work of art both inside and out. The super-cool outdoor eating/entertaining area with BBQ, outdoor enclosed shower, exterior golf cart outlets, and parking directly adjacent to the property are fantastic bonuses. In-unit washer/dryer, new electrical with increased voltage, new A/C, and luxe appliances and fixtures. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac street, this home also has low monthly space rent. Enjoy all of Paradise Cove's exceptional amenities, including gated security, tennis and basketball courts, a fantastic playground, an ocean-view clubhouse for social gatherings - and, of course, direct access to one of the most iconic beaches on the planet. This house is absolutely one-of-a-kind - a true find for the most discerning of tastes, and an opportunity to enjoy the very best the Malibu lifestyle has to offer.
