“Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them,whoever knows how to listen to them,can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts,they preach the ancient law of life.”          Hermann Hesse

Standing on the top deck that runs the length of this home, you’ll know exactly what Hesse’s words mean,for you are truly in a sanctuary,surrounded by giant pines,oaks,sycamores  – you’re in a magnificent tree house!

The view is breathtaking:the Santa Monica Mountains, the rolling lawn of the Malibou Lake Country Club,the lake below……..vast floor-to-ceiling windows and three French doors makes this setting visible from almost every room in the home. On the front side of the property,a flagstone path leads to a massive oak door. Inside,the original stone fireplace dominates as the centerpiece of the great room. There is also a large dining area and open kitchen,with granite countertops,a huge island,custom cabinetry,and stainless steel appliances. The atmosphere suggests “charming Malibou Lake,” but the pristine restorations are all new and perfect. All of the interior doors are custom oak,with an intricate woven braid carved around the doorways and along the floorboards,which is both unique and striking.

The master bedroom has two closets,a sitting area,and large ensuite bath,with a jetted tub, double shower, and two sinks. On the other side of the home are two guest rooms and a full bath,also beautifully renovated. 

Another delight awaits on the first level of this residence. A second deck also runs the length of this floor,and inside are almost 1000 square feet of limitless possibilities:a mother-in-law suite,a teenager’s retreat, etc.There’s a fully equipped kitchen,full bathroom,bedroom,office and  living/dining area.

Malibou Lake never fails to amaze visitors,never fails to offer contentment to its  residents. It may be one of the last sanctuaries left in this part of the state,and everyone who is lucky enough to live there whispers it as the “best kept secret in town.” Isn’t it time to be part of this delicious “secret”?
