When Jaman first toured Longview, it consisted of a dog-run on one side, an obstructed ocean view on the other side, with a rundown ranch house in between. Still, the property had soul…and an impeccable Malibu pedigree.
With a nod to the home’s original owner–-the world’s first female extreme surfer–-The rooms were reconfigured, the systems and surfaces upgraded and the landscaping and structural style reinvented as a luxury bungalow.
The nearly one-acre lot was relandscaped to reveal an unobstructed Pacific vista featuring Catalina by day, The Queen’s Necklace by night and white water views of legendary Surfrider Beach—site of iconic beach movies from “Point Break” to “Gidget” and “Beach Blanket Bingo”.
