The asking price for this house in Malibu was about $8 million and then it dropped to $3,650,000. It wasn’t too long before along came Mister and Missus Johnny Mac who somewhat surreptitiously acquired the property by way of a vaguely named trust in March (2013) for $3,345,000.
The low-slung single story residence of about 2,800 square feet—a classic example of a quintessential California ranch house—has three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.
Semi-glossy wood floors, a pleasantly vaulted exposed wood ceiling, and numerous over-sized windows and wood-framed glass doors tie the main house’s open concept main living spaces together. At one end a living room/t.v. lounge area has clerestory windows, a red brick accent wall that we’re oddly fond of, and, believe it or not butter beans, there’s a fireplace hidden behind the seller’s big ol’ tufted black leather sectional sofa.
The main living/dining area flows right on into the roomy and well-outfitted kitchen where a thick slab of lightly veined marble water falls over one end of the super-sized center island.
