A Doug Burdge Oceanfront Estate in Malibu

In this episode of DIGStv, we transport you to a Malibu oceanfront estate, inspired by Hawaiian architectural design. DIGStv talks to Chris Cortazzo, a top realtor in Malibu representing the home, and Doug Burdge the architect to understand what makes this home so unique.

Originally built in 1955, and completely overhauled by prolific Malibu architect Doug Burdge, the mini-compound—spanning 5,033 square feet, with 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms—is situated along a secluded stretch of beach and features resort-style grounds bordered by poetic, old-growth trees.

Wood and glass are used amply, sculpting the structures into the surrounding landscape— vanishing pocket doors and floor-to-ceiling windows provide a gallery-like experience to the blue sky panorama. An uncluttered living room, flush with views, is found on the ground floor of the main house, along dining area with a fireplace and chef’s kitchen.

Step outdoors, and there’s an oceanfront lounging deck and slender pool and spa. Head upstairs, and you’ll find much of the floor given over to a sprawling master suite surrounded by a wraparound deck.

Steps away, the guest house is stocked with ocean-view bedrooms, a sleek kitchenette and a media room—a standalone annex that puts forth all the extra room one might need without sacrificing the peaceful, self-contained luxury of life along the sunny California coast,
