Located on the highly desirable Roca Chica Drive, this Palisades fire lot comes full plans and an expedited permitting process, allowing for an impressive increase of over 10% in square footage from the original structure. With thoughtful precision and a keen eye for detail, this designer grade Malibu home is the collaborative vision influenced by the owners, who are highly esteemed fashion and entertainment executives and the renowned Malibu Design Center.
