by whitewashed wood-beam ceilings, a
farmhouse sink and glassy globe pendants.
Upstairs, an incandescent light infiltrates
the high-ceilinged primary suite. Appearing
to float above the water, as if an extension
of the sea itself, this serene bolthole makes
the most of its luminous view both from
inside the suite and, waiting in the wings
(with seemingly all the time in the world),
a spacious private deck for lazing away
hours and even days. Such is the space's
lack of concern for cares or commitments
outside its core mandate: relaxation and
rejuvenation. The sun-drenched primary
bath, meanwhile, is a highlight all its own,
finished in shining stone surfaces and
featuring dual vanities and a gigantic
rainhead shower more accustomed to a
spa—only, one whose sounds of the sea is
not manufactured and ocean view is not a
figment of the mind but just beyond a large
picture window.
No matter how captured one is by the
home's interior spaces, its outdoor court-
yards call, whether it's the primary suite or
wood-deck counterpart below. The latter
is in many ways the beating heart of this
waterside idyll and an artery to both the
happenings of the house and the solitude
of the shore. With plenty of space to enter-
tain company, the lower deck is the place
to gather amid a gracious view, all while
floating in an out of large glass passage-
ways that open the home's indoor public
areas. Sun on the deck, soak in the sunken
jacuzzi tub, or step down onto the sand for
a morning surf or an evening stroll—every
moment here is sublime.
With all the makings of a multimil-
lion-dollar listing—$17.250 million to be
specific—23456 Malibu Colony Road
is prime for the limelight and therefore
in precisely the right neighborhood. In
sum, says Dazzan, "The premier location
combined with a beautifully done, light
and bright beachy home creates a truly
quintessential Malibu lifestyle."
