A Malibu home with ties to Hollywood has hit the market for almost $17 million.
The four-bedroom house at 28834 Boniface Drive in Point Dume is for sale for nearly $16.9 million, Mansion Global reported. Pinnacle Estate Properties’ Jeffrey Chertown has the listing.
The manse was purchased by screenwriter Janus Cercone and producer Michael Manheim in 2024 for $7.5 million in 2024. The couple, who co-founded development firm Jaman Properties after careers in filmmaking, overhauled the 3,723-square-foot house to create a light-filled indoor-outdoor property on a 0.7-acre lot.
“We reconfigured every room, and completely changed the orientation of the house and the way the house feels,” Cercone told Mansion Global.
The property boasts a 55-foot pool, meditation garden and flowing brook as well as a key to a private beach near Point Dume’s surf breaks. The black Art Deco kitchen is the centerpiece, featuring a Ferrari-black custom-painted range, cow-skin banquette and curved window wall designed to evoke a stage with the backyard as its backdrop.
The home, dubbed Peacock Alley for the birds that roam Point Dume, features wallpaper made from 3,000 peacock feathers by European artist Pavel Gorka. Cercone said the installation took a month and a significant chunk of the renovation budget.
Other artistic touches include a surfboard designed by local shop owner Zuma Jay and signed by surfer Kathy Kohner-Zuckerman, the real-life inspiration for “Gidget,” which hangs in the home theater. A self-portrait by Malibu resident and actress Jane Seymour is displayed in one of the bedrooms.
For all the spectacle, Cercone said the renovation was ultimately about creating a retreat from Hollywood rather than a stage for it.
The listing comes after another Point Dume mansion with Hollywood ties came up for sale. In June, the 17,700-square-foot home at 28824 Cliffside Drive, featured in the TV series “The O.C.” and the film “Last Action Hero,” hit the market for $90 million.
