Welcome to the fairytale community of Saint Malo, inspired by the seaside architecture of Brittany. Originally mapped in the 1920s as a beach playground for the movie stars and executives from Los Angeles, the delightful enclave offers a private, exclusive, guard-gated paradise nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Buena Vista Lagoon. Truly a visual treat, the picturesque residence is ideally sited directly on a corner of the lagoon. The feeling of sea breezes, lazy summer afternoons, and the lure of curling up with a book in the winter invites friends and family into this beach retreat. Built around a central brick patio, all main rooms open to this colorful outdoor living space, perfect for private sun bathing, barbequing or alfresco dining. As you cross the threshold into the poetic single level residence, stunning high beamed ceilings highlight the great room with its dramatic and spacious architecture. The delightful kitchen “speaks beach” and accommodates family simplicity and casual entertaining. There are a total of four bedrooms and four baths; three in the main house and the fourth located in its own guest-ready apartment. Potted geraniums and French lavender add the final touch to this whimsical weekend hideaway or full-time home. This offering is just steps to the private beach. Saint Malo, complete with summer lifeguards, cabana, community barbeque, tennis courts, paddle court, and beach volleyball, is considered one of the best beach colonies in America. The lagoon is California’s first Ecological Reserve, home to over 200 species of birds and a plethora of fish and plant life. Experience this rare offering in a sequestered coastal colony replete with Old World charm and an incomparable laidback lifestyle. Escape to your own sanctuary; a treasure convenient to all but away from the bustle of every day life.
