“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.
