The story
Beyond the private gate, Malibu takes on a quieter rhythm. Set on one oak-filled acre, this Finn Kappe designed residence pairs the drama of a glass house with the privacy of a woodland retreat. Exposed timber, twenty-foot walls of glass, and staggered living levels create striking perspectives, with views unfolding through the trees. Life at 2315 Live Oak Meadows Road moves easily between indoors and out. Mornings in the light-filled living room. Dinner with the glass doors open to the canyon air. Evenings on the terraces among the oaks. The two-bedroom, three-bath residence features an Arclinea kitchen with Gaggenau appliances and a sculptural marble block island, complemented by radiant-heated concrete floors. A comprehensive 2018 renovation preserved the architecture while updating glazing, roofing, electrical and plumbing systems, and bathrooms. Lutron lighting, integrated sound, a dedicated theater, and dual-zone HVAC bring everyday comfort to the distinctive design.Landscaped paths and secluded terraces extend across the fully fenced grounds, with Las Flores Canyon providing access to PCH, beaches, and Malibu dining. A rare architectural escape, close enough to stay connected and private enough to switch off. Pool, ADU, and garage are all conceptual renderings.
