This charming coastal-chic cottage is located in the exclusive oceanside community of Paradise Cove, just steps from one of the most secluded, stunning beaches in Southern California. The ground-up remodel was crafted with an eye towards maximizing space while enhancing style, with wide-plank pine floors, vaulted ceilings, custom window coverings with dual-pane windows, recessed lighting throughout, and tons of custom details. Exceptional curb appeal with gorgeous sculptural palms hints at the lovely interior, where you’ll find an airy live-work-dine space and a perfectly-proportioned jewelbox of a kitchen with quartz countertops. Both bedrooms are nicely sized, with plenty of storage space – plus an ultra-comfortable bonus sleeping loft (with separate storage area) accessed via a cool industrial-style ladder. The two spacious, tiled bathrooms spotlight Carrera marble counters and modern detailing. Additional features include two-car parking (plus space for a golf cart) directly adjacent to the home – a rare and valuable find in Paradise Cove – an outdoor shower, and plenty of space for surfboard storage. Ideal for either a full-time residence or a weekend getaway, this property is a uniquely desirable find. Residents of the community enjoy exceptional amenities including gated security for peace of mind, beautifully-maintained grounds, tennis and basketball courts, a large clubhouse overlooking the ocean, an adorable playground, and – of course – access to iconic Paradise Cove, where breaching whales and playful dolphins are regular visitors, and the rainbow sunsets are utterly unforgettable. Enjoy the very best that Malibu has to offer in your own slice of paradise.
