SELLER: Todd Phillips
LOCATION: Malibu, CA
PRICE: $8,995,000
SIZE: 3,159 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms

Oscar-nominated screenwriter, director, producer and occasional actor Todd Phillips has his hideaway house on Malibu's La Costa beach on the open market with a freshly reduced $8,995,000 asking price.* 

Property records show Mr. Phillips bought his beach house in February 2010 from high-flying movie producer—and newly minted billionaire—Ryan Kavanaugh for exactly $9,000,000.

Current listing information shows the 1938 Spanish-ish style residence has three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms—plus four fireplaces and garage parking for two cars—in 3,159 square feet of newly remodeled and updated interior space with state-of-the-art electronic and lighting systems. A locked and gated entry opens to a supermodel slender courtyard—a corridor really—that leads to the wrought iron and glass front door.

There are textured stone tiles the color of wet sand throughout the main floor open plan living/dining space that spans the full width of the lower level and spills out through three sets of French doors to a bench-lined beach front deck. The re-done kitchen has dark chocolate Shaker style cabinetry, some sort of solid surface counter top—no doubt of costly quality, a white tile backsplash behind the range that (unfortunately) makes use of three differently sized and shaped tiles, and a full suite of commercial-style appliances.

A cozy, second floor den/media lounge has hardwood floors, a fireplace over-mounted by a flat-screen television, a built-in media equipment niche, and a pitched and beamed ceiling pierced by numerous sky lights that fill the room with natural light.
