Yes, the large, open kitchen has plentiful knotty pine cupboards similar to those of the “early days,” but the old and the new fit beautifully, with cork flooring and stainless steel appliances guaranteed to make any aspiring chef beam!  The stainless, double-sink looks out to a stunning view of the Santa Monica mountains, which will have anyone willing to do the day’s dishes.  A guest bath was recently remodeled on the first floor with a claw foot tub.

A lovely staircase leads to the loft, offering a myriad of possibilities: playroom, media area, game room.  All of the second-floor rooms have exceptional fir flooring, and the master bedroom, with its unique, vaulted ceiling and mountain views, looks like a treehouse in the sky.  The bathroom has a shower and large vanity with a great walk-in closet.  The office, with French doors leading to a deck, also looks out to the mountains and island.

The large lot has a great, south-facing picture of the water, a private dock site location, a separate viewing deck, and hot tub.  Residents’ member benefits include: fishing, boating, swimming, and tennis – and don’t forget the rope swing on the island!  This is the only home on Malibou Lake that is listed under a million dollars, but has a multi-million dollar location.

Now is the perfect time to make your own memories in the “pretty little cottage in the middle of a sparkling glade,” in matchless Malibou Lake!
