Villa Morning

Set on more than an acre of flat land above Zuma Beach, this contemporary residence, attributed to noted architects Buff and Hensman, rises in white stucco and glass beneath a flat roofline, the ocean visible from the bluff in the distance. A soccer net sits at the edge of the lawn, palm and magnolia framing the drive toward a two-car garage.

Inside, double-height ceilings rise over a living room anchored by a marble fireplace, a built-in window seat tucked into its own sunlit alcove nearby. The kitchen runs along a stretch of white cabinetry beneath marble counters, a black stone accent wall visible through the opening to the next room. A skylit game room holds a table tennis table beneath abstract art, and bedrooms carry their own ocean-facing windows, one opening onto a private patio. A long wall of lit wood shelving lines the walk-in closet down the hall.

Outside, a pool and plunge spa sit against the flat lawn, a covered lounge nearby holding a fire pit and a mounted screen beside an outdoor dining table. The bluff opens toward the Pacific beyond the trees, the lawn stretching wide and green in every direction.
