The Malibu American beach house where starlet Judy Garland lived with her second husband, Vincente Minnelli, and their daughter, Liza Minnelli, shortly from after it was built in 1947 into the 1950s is for sale. The property was completely rebuilt in 2013, and has been listed for a respectable $3.895 million.
Measuring 1,311 square feet, the former Garland-Minnelli beach house is on Malibu’s Las Tunas Beach within a stretch of beach homes that have been the backdrop for a number of films. Enjoying uninterrupted ocean-and-beach views, the house has been decorated using a palette of neutral tones and natural materials with exposed painted brickwork and wooden panelled ceilings. The space has been dressed in soft fabrics and ocean inspired ornaments and lighting fixtures and fittings complete the luxe beachside look. The house includes three bedrooms and a trio of bathrooms with a double-view fireplace for both the vaulted-ceiling living room and dining room. Entry is through a private courtyard. The first floor has views straight out to sea through ten-foot accordion doors opening onto the expansive deck suitable for sunbathing or entertaining guests. The kitchen has been completely updated with marble countertops and stylish Viking appliances. Upstairs, the master bedroom opens onto its own private oceanfront deck.
Malibu Beach has long been known for its large number of A-list celebrity homeowners. Not only does Malibu boast miles of beautiful white sandy beach, there are numerous upscale eateries on the water for casual or more formal dining, most with stunning views of the breaking waves. Some long-time residents include Courtney Cox, Cher, Lady Gaga, Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert Downey Jr.
The listing agent for the former Garland home is Sally Forster Jones, Compass, Los Angeles.
