“There’s a long, long, trail a-winding
Into the land of my dreams,
Where the nightingales are singing
And the white moon beams.”
Song by A. Elliot & S. King
And that is all you have to do… follow the long, long trail, until you arrive at the home of your dreams. Striking brick pavers lead to the French doors, which will reveal an entry of vaulted ceilings, gorgeous earth-toned marble floors, and a winding staircase ending at the master study.
The massive first floor living area easily converts into a media room, with plush seating and professional projector, screen, blackouts, and lighting. This room, as well as the dining area and kitchen have custom slate floors, with Brazilian cherry-wood inlays. The dining room begs for holiday dinners, with a brick, floor-to-ceiling fireplace, built-in alderwood bookcases, and a trio of windows looking out to oaks and fruit trees. The adjoining kitchen contains the same custom cabinetry, as well as a commercial-sized stove and huge island. Also on the first level are a mudroom, guest bedroom, and bath, and there are dual pane windows throughout. Solar power ensures low utility bills.
The master suite on the second floor guarantees sweet dreams, with its lavish steam-shower with seating, hardwood floors, large walk-in closet, and tranquil views of the Paramount National Recreation Area. The adjacent study opens to a massive wood deck, again with unparalleled vistas. This floor also has two other guest rooms and bath.
Outdoors, the five acres promise year-round enjoyment, beginning with the covered patio, replete with ceiling heaters, brick pavers, and an English boxwood garden. Meandering paths lead to other hidden delights: a lovely greenhouse, fruit trees, and a raised vegetable garden surrounded by a fence guaranteed to keep out neighboring deer! An access road at the back of the property leads to a storage container/tack room. Owners are assured of privacy, as the property backs up to Malibu Creek State Park, yet there is easy access to freeways.
So………listen for the nightingale, follow that white moon beam, and voila! You are in the land of your dreams – see how simple it is?
