515 Moonrise Dr Malibu CA MLS #23-318367

Come home to this Malibu mountaintop sanctuary and own your piece of the sky! Located behind a secure, coded gate in a private enclave of nine lucky homeowners, you’ll find this impeccably finished modern showpiece. Taken down to the studs and painstakingly remodeled by the homeowner as a forever home, you’ll benefit from elevated materials and attention to detail in every room. That is, if you can take your eyes off the absolutely mesmerizing, unobstructed views of Santa Monica Bay, from the "Queen’s necklace" to Catalina and the Channel islands. Enter through the oversized Western Window Systems glass and matte black aluminum front door. Your eyes are drawn to the matching full-length window framing epic ocean views at the end of the hall. As you stroll over imported Italian porcelain tile floors, past custom walnut millwork and built-ins, you can already feel the cool ocean breeze. Step down onto the custom concrete living room floor, past the clean lines of the newly-built gas fireplace and chimney, through the 3-panel sliding wall of glass, and onto the patio which runs the length of the home. Take a moment, take a breath. Watch the lights of Palos Verdes twinkle on, the first wisps of the marine layer creep up the canyons, and the amber hues of the setting sun reflect off the wings of the red-tailed hawk that’s a daily, eye-level visitor. You’re away from it all. On top of the world. Ensconced in luxury and solitude, yet only 14 minutes from PCH or the Calabasas Commons. Between two dining areas that flow seamlessly from indoor to out through yet another sliding wall of glass, you’ll find a modern kitchen replete with built-ins from Miele and Wolf, a breakfast bar, and a view over the stainless steel sink that will make the chance to do dishes a competition, not a chore. Two bedrooms, each with captivating views of mountains, ocean, or both, a full and half bath, both tasteful and minimalist, and a direct-access two-car garage complete the ground floor. Now for the biggest reveal of all: Ascend the custom walnut stairs beneath a skylit atrium to the ultimate spa-like retreat. The entire second floor is a primary suite, with a walk-in closet and two more glass sliders that bring you out onto a recently-completed deck which does the impossible by improving on the jetliner views of the first floor. A flex space perfect for a home office or nursery, dedicated laundry room, and luxurious primary bath with steam shower and freestanding tub featuring Moen & Brizo fixtures, complete this unparalleled at-home getaway. While you’ll want for nothing in this trophy home that has it all, the homeowner has future-proofed the home with thoughtful upgrades and preparations for expansion. The roof framing, with a Polyglass Polyfresko torchdown finish, was built to accommodate future solar panel installation. The HVAC ducting has been replaced, with a dual-zone system and dedicated 3-ton unit for the top floor alone. And best of all, included with the sale you’ll receive approved, stamped plans for a 768 sq. ft stand-alone garage with attached studio space!
