On a bluff overlooking the Pacific, this light-filled Sunset Mesa home is the perfect year-round getaway. With a private courtyard entry, sensational sightlines, high ceilings, and ample room for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining, the home is designed for maximum enjoyment of the views. Surrounded by a privacy hedge, a partially covered front-yard flagstone patio and garden offer a quiet space for visiting and lounging, then continue along the side of the house to the backyard. From the home's entry, a tall skylight hallway frames the first view of the interior, the backyard, and the ocean. The main living/dining areas are open and spacious, with stone-tile floors, a fireplace, and expansive glass and sliding doors to the back patio. The skylight kitchen has granite countertops, updated appliances, and French doors opening to a pantry. The home's four bedrooms, all with wood floors and ample closet space, include a peaceful primary suite with a walk-in closet, a Carrera-marble bath with a dual vanity, and sliding glass doors providing gorgeous views and opening to the backyard. Tranquil and private, the ocean-view backyard, complete with outdoor speakers and motorized awnings, features a spacious, partially shaded stone-floor patio and built-in seating for barbecues, al fresco dining, and lounging. There is a broad sweep of lawn, a box garden, planters with succulents, privacy hedges, a wood dining deck with coastline and Queen's Necklace views, and gated steps to another platform for relaxing beneath the stars. The home has a separate laundry room and a two-car garage with additional storage space. Located between Sunset Boulevard and Topanga Canyon, the residence is just minutes from shopping and dining destinations in Pacific Palisades and Malibu.
