pleasingly chic, white-on-white kitchen. In
this inviting family hub, soft light streams
down from a trio of skylights, casting
sunlight onto the glossy marble island. A
gleaming Lacanche range, named for the
French village where the 6-foot wide appli-
ance was handcrafted, sits center stage in
the kitchen, framed above with sculpted
limestone.
One of the most pragmatically appeal-
ing features of the house is a butler's
kitchen situated discreetly behind the
main kitchen. Aptly described by the agent
as a "kitchen within a kitchen," this fully
outfitted cooking and prep space serves as
a tucked-away area where dishes can be
warmed and stored before serving—ideal
for a small dinner party or a fete for over a
hundred, which the scale of the house can
accommodate. "We counted seven differ-
ent food prep areas in the house," notes
Bisignano, including an outdoor kitchen
where drinks and food are served up to
guests during fresh-air gatherings.
"It's an entertainer's house because it's
wide open," says the real estate agent. Ceil-
ings are high, and proportions are perfect:
inviting, open and tasteful. A constant, too,
are the oversized windows and expansive
French doors for a constant link between
the indoors and this dreamlike natural
environment, complete with palm trees,
blue waters and endless skies. "The house,"
Bisignano adds, "has barely been lived
in since the major remodel because the
owners are based in San Francisco."
New owners will have much to savor in
this roomy coastal haven—with the versatil-
ity to keenly shift between a sun-splashed
domestic hub and a refined entertaining
residence. Location is yet another plus:
"You're really close to everything," explains
Bisignano. "You can be in Malibu Cove in
two minutes, and you can be in Redondo
Beach in about six or seven minutes." The
address also boasts remarkable walkabil-
ity—along the bluff tops and to the beach,
or to local dining, the market and even
schools. "You can practically throw a rock
and reach the high school," he says with
a chuckle, "and the elementary and inter-
mediary schools are right up the hill." From
playdates to elegant parties, all within sight
of the Pacific Ocean.
