A mid-century masterpiece created by iconic Malibu architect Doug Rucker, this single-level Sycamore Park garden home blends exceptional privacy and majestic ocean and coastline views. Glass-wrapped rooms face onto private, lighted tropical gardens landscaped with palms, fruit trees, birds of paradise, bright bougainvillea, and multiple fountains. A picturesque central courtyard rock garden opens to the expansive backyard. In addition to wraparound glass, the interior detailing is classic mid-century: wood ceilings with massive beams and lustrous floors of black slate, flagstone, tile, and hardwood. The gated property of approximately 0.6 acre features a verdant front yard with a pergola-shaded porch and a wide, welcoming, glass-striped front door. Ocean views are on display immediately, the open layout flowing effortlessly from family/media room to sunken living room to kitchen. The living room features a large woodburning fireplace, a built-in sofa, and flagstone and black-slate floors. The ocean-view kitchen, newly updated with top-quality appliances, quartz countertops, and tile backsplash has a huge island with bar seating. Behind the family room is a bedroom/office with a powder room. Off the kitchen, a hallway leads to two more bedrooms, including the tranquil primary suite, complete with a brand-new skylight bath and wraparound glass walls opening to the backyard. The expansive grounds feature an enormous wood deck with a barbecue and room for dining plus areas with lawn, gravel, and covered patios for entertaining, recreation and, potentially, a pool. Views from the backyard highlight Point Dume, coastline, the ocean, and glorious sunsets. The home has a two-car garage with laundry facilities, plus room for ten vehicles in the driveway and additional street parking. With easy access to hiking trails and Escondido Beach, this wonderful Malibu retreat includes entry to the Sycamore Park Tennis Club.

Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1963, this mid-century home is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready. The kitchen has been newly updated with top-quality stainless steel appliances, modern blue cabinetry, white quartz countertops, and a contemporary tile backsplash, as confirmed by the images. The primary bathroom is also described as 'brand-new.' While these key areas are extensively renovated to modern standards, other parts of the home, such as the living room's flagstone/slate flooring and the wood beam ceilings, retain their classic mid-century character. These elements, though not 'new,' are in excellent condition and contribute to the property's unique style. The property has not undergone a full, top-to-bottom renovation of all components, but the significant updates in critical areas, combined with the overall pristine condition and well-preserved original features, qualify it as 'Good' rather than 'Excellent' which implies virtually all components are new.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Iconic Mid-Century Architecture: Designed by iconic Malibu architect Doug Rucker, the property boasts classic mid-century elements like wood ceilings with massive beams and lustrous floors, offering unique aesthetic appeal and historical significance.
Panoramic Ocean & Coastline Views: Offers majestic, unobstructed ocean and coastline views, including Point Dume and glorious sunsets, from multiple rooms and the expansive grounds, significantly enhancing desirability and value.
Exceptional Privacy & Lush Gardens: A gated 0.6-acre property featuring exceptional privacy, extensive private tropical gardens with palms, fruit trees, birds of paradise, and multiple fountains, creating a serene and secluded environment.
Updated Key Living Spaces: Features a newly updated, ocean-view kitchen with top-quality appliances, quartz countertops, and a large island, alongside a tranquil primary suite with a brand-new skylight bath.
Extensive Outdoor Living & Amenities: Expansive grounds include a large wood deck, lawn areas, covered patios for entertaining, ample parking for ten vehicles, and access to hiking trails, Escondido Beach, and the Sycamore Park Tennis Club.

Cons

Age of Construction (1963): While architecturally significant, the 1963 build year suggests potential for aging infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) that may require future investment beyond the noted updates.
Absence of Mentioned Cooling System: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant comfort concern for buyers, especially given Malibu's climate and the home's glass-wrapped design.
Significant Price Reduction: A substantial price reduction from the original list price indicates potential overpricing or challenges in market absorption, which may raise questions for prospective buyers regarding its true market value.
