The home, built in 1955, sits on approximately 40 feet of prime beach frontage and has the added advantage of being located on a very deep, sandy lot. There are two bedrooms upstairs and a bonus room downstairs. This charming beach cottage is the kind of place to use and enjoy while you wait unit you’ve figured out what you’re going to build next.  I’ve visited the home several times and one of its most special features is that everything on the inside is original. The place appears to be stuck in time with its timeless furnishings and art from the early 60′s. The  period-correct kitchen includes an indoor barbecue grill on the side of the living room fireplace. Imagine grilling a steak over smoldering charcoal in your kitchen….a Dean Martin-style martini in one hand, tongs in the other. There are some of those sad clown oil paintings that many of our grandparents had hanging on the wall, and there’s the big sliding glass door, the one your parents always told you not to slam with the mesmerizing locking mechanism. Outside is a modest garden comprised of various succulents accented with a few agaves next to a well tended bed of ice plant. There’s also a perfectly aged wooden beach path leading to the ocean only steps from the home. You can tell that a lot of memories were created here. The home abounds with charm and is one of the last remaining of Malibu’s classic beach bungalows, and for sale at $6.99m.
