Surf’s up and only steps away for a Malibu home designed by the late surf-legend-and-architect Matt Kivlin. Located on the bluffs above Paradise Cove in the gated enclave of Sea Lane, it is for sale at $12.995 million.

Matt Kivlin

Kivlin wasn’t your average beach bum, but a serious surfer turned architect. In 1940, he designed a surfboard out of lightweight balsa wood, known as the Malibu Board, after finding the long Koa wood boards in Hawaii hard to handle.

 The original boards, which were still used in Hawaii long after statehood, historically were sized at 16 feet for Hawaiian royalty and 12 feet for commoners while Matt’s were only about 9-feet long.

Kivlin went from being known as California’s best wave rider in the 1940s and 50s to designing and building over 200 homes, 80 of which were located in Malibu.

Marrying his love of surfing and profession of architecture in a cheerful home that would charm any surfing enthusiast, Kivlin’s home is just down the lane to the Pacific Ocean waves.

 Now a compound extensively added to by the current owners, the 3/4-acre lot contains the sunny four-bedroom main house and a newly constructed contemporary, fully outfitted guest house with a gourmet kitchen and a separate creative media production space, both connected by a large wrap-around deck.

 The main house is open and sunny connected to the lushly designed grounds that contain lawn, pond, fountain, fire pit, fruit trees and a vegetable garden.

 There is also a ceramics shed, private outdoor bathtub, multiple decks, saltwater pool and spa, outdoor gym with sauna, ice bath and a full outdoor kitchen.

There is plenty of parking for guests and the exclamation point is the full deeded access to one of the best beaches in California, according to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com

Much loved by the film industry since its inception, celebrities flock to the Malibu area. Paradise Beach and the Paradise Beach Cafe have been the backdrop of many Hollywood films including Indecent Proposal, X-Men, Monster-In-Law, The Bold and the Beautiful and many more.

After a day of beaching or surfing, the Cafe is a popular place to chill over good food and exotic drinks before strolling home.

The Kivlin property is a home for beach lovers, surfers, celebrity watchers and those who just want to live in luxury with all the amenities by the ocean. The house is  listed by Mark Gruskin of Westside Estate Agency in Malibu.

M&R Development Begins Construction on 4200 On The Lake – Its First Rental Building in Wisconsin

4200 On The Lake Exterior Rendering - 4200 On The Lake, at 4200 South Lake Drive, will feature one- and two-bedroom units, extensive amenities and sweeping views of both Lake Michigan and the Milwaukee skyline

CHICAGO, IL (April 15, 2020) — M&R Development announced it has begun construction on a 236-unit luxury apartment building on Lake Michigan in St. Francis, Wisc., an inner-ring suburb located only 5 miles south of downtown Milwaukee. 

The project, 4200 On The Lake, will feature one- and two-bedroom units, extensive amenities and sweeping views of both the lake and the Milwaukee skyline. Building delivery is targeted for spring 2021. M&R is co-developing the project with Campbell Capital Group, LLC.

Anthony Rossi, Sr.

“We’ve always had one eye on the Milwaukee area, especially the stretch that runs south of the city to the airport – good job growth, easy access to I-94, great lake views – as it checks a lot of boxes,” said Anthony Rossi, Sr., managing partner, M&R Development. 

“In fact, we looked at this site 20 years ago, but the timing wasn’t right. You only get one chance to build your first project in a different state, so we wanted to make sure we did it right. 

"Our patience paid off. We secured the best parcel on this site, perched on a bluff with incredible views of Lake Michigan to the east and the city to the north.”

Located at 4200 S. Lake Drive, the community will offer apartments with nine-foot ceilings; quartz kitchen countertops; cultured marble bathroom vanities; tub and shower surrounds with subway tile; and full-size washers and dryers. Most apartments come with a balcony and select units also include walk-in closets.
