Classic Malibu / An easy state of mind

Salt in the air.
Nothing to rush.

Some places ask you to slow down.
Surfside is designed for it.

White siding, warm timber, pools and planted courtyards bring a familiar beach-house spirit into a new coastal home. Rooms open toward the terraces, and the spaces between them become places to linger.
