Superstar

Malibu, which was only established in 1991, is located in the west of Los Angeles. This is a typical resort beach city. To the south is the Santa Monica Mountains consisting of several parks and canyons, and to the north is the 27-mile-long Pacific coast main line. Stretching along the seashore, countless sandy beaches, endless beauty, and a clean and private living environment, all these make this the first choice for celebrities to live or vacation.

Although Malibu has not been fully developed at this time, it has gradually formed an industrial chain. There are not only several resorts, countless restaurants and bars, and even David Geffen also opened a hotel here. People will come here to enjoy their holidays in all seasons.

Hugo also came here on vacation two years ago, but that is a long memory. When Hugo came to this town again, both sides of the spacious road were already surrounded by shady palm trees, and the check-in of large supermarkets and shopping malls gradually enriched the surrounding life.

Although it's only May at this time, young people coming to surf can already be seen on the road, under the dazzling sunlight, it seems that the water vapor of the ocean waves has blown onto the face. Different from Los Angeles, and even different from Santa Monica Beach, there is always more leisure and casualness here, and the sparse crowd makes the air flow a kind of comfort and looseness.

"Dear Mr. Caswell, please get off here." Dan Romo (dan.) straightened his tie, and with a smile, he invited Samora Caswell, who was sitting in the passenger seat, to get out of the car. , But his gaze is always involuntarily looking at the two people sitting in the back seat, because he is always guessing whether one of them is Hugo Lancaster.

Dan is a real estate agent in Los Angeles. In fact, his qualifications are very low, and low qualifications in the real estate agent industry often means oppression. Now this business was not taken over by him at all. When Samora Kasvi came to their company to inquire about the sale of villa business in Malibu, he just happened to stand at the front desk and accepted a little inquiry. Afterwards, the gold brokers of their company came up to grab the customers. These gold brokers are always stubborn and can easily take away the attention of the guests.

But unexpectedly, at the end of Samora’s insistence, the case was not only handed over to Dan, but also the gold broker obediently handed over the company’s high-level housing information to him. This made Dan a bit harder. Shocked. Because these resources have always been held on the spire of the pyramid, it is difficult for a newcomer like him to break through the blockade. This also made Dan begin to doubt the identity of Samora.

In the past two days, Dan took Samora and looked at several houses in Malibu, but today Samora said that he still had a companion to come and see the house. Dan didn’t think much about it, but one of them really looked like rain. Fruit, this made him have to think more.

However, Dan forced himself to retract his sight, parked the car on the side of the road, and waited for a group of three people to come over, and took the initiative to introduce, "This is a garage. According to the plan, the garage can accommodate three sports cars. If you want to expand the garage, the small courtyard on the left is also available."

This house in Samora has been seen once before, and today Hugo and Joseph came to confirm in person.

Hugo carefully looked at the building in front of him. The villa was located next to the road. It was about sixty inches (eighteen meters) wide from left to right. The garage was on the far right. The stone walls were made of blocks. It is made of piles of stones, natural and primitive, with a little retro and rough feeling. On the right hand side is a small courtyard. The garden is scattered with some flower pots, which looks a little empty.

Behind the entire garage is a stone-brown wooden villa that seems to be only two stories high. The exterior walls are all made of brown wooden boards of various shades. Because this villa is built on a hillside, the left side of the garage A small hill can be seen from the side and the right side of the garden, so the wooden villa looks very harmonious as a whole. The dense woods on the hills become a natural barrier, blocking the sight of all strangers.

No wonder Samora liked it very much after seeing this house.

"If you have requirements, this small courtyard can be redesigned, whether it is designed to be a garden or a playground." Dan explained briefly, and then took the lead in the direction of the courtyard, leading the way in front, "please follow me ."

Walking through the small courtyard, a carved iron door appeared between the courtyard and the garage. Dan opened the iron door with the key, and a quiet path appeared. There was a winding staircase between the main body of the villa and the hill on the right. As I walked down, the stairs were still made of stone-brown wooden planks. On the side of the stairs near the hill, there was a ditch built with pebbles, and clear spring water was slowly flowing in it—according to Dan’s explanation, this It is an underground spring left from a hill, and it will eventually flow into a lowered storage tank to water the grass.

After walking down the stairs, I realized that there was something special. It turned out that the villa was only three stories high, but about one and a half floors were built downwards, so standing at the height of the garage, you can only see about two floors. Walking down the stairs, you can immediately see a deep courtyard in the shape of a "concave", which is divided into two parts.

At the far end is a huge swimming pool. The blue water reflects the dazzling sun and shimmers with sparkling waves. At the end of the swimming pool is a green grass with a tennis net on the grass, and at the far end there are iron railings. , If you go forward, you can see a small iron fence on the right side, and a marble-stacked staircase will appear when you push it away, leading to the beach below.

"The sandy beach below is separated by a cliff," Dan walked to the tennis lawn and explained to Hugo and Joseph who were standing in front of the railing and inquiring. He pointed to the rising hill on his right hand side, and there really wasn't any road. It leads to the sandy beach below, and the left-hand side of the sandy beach extends forward and finally merges with the sea. "So this is a private beach."

The beach below is actually not big, it is estimated that it will disappear when the tide is high, and it is half the size of a basketball court when the tide is low, but it is indeed a good gimmick. Standing on the grass, the sea breeze raging in all directions rushed in frantically, and when you raised your head, you could see the sea and the sky, and the endless blue of ignorance could not find the boundary. From a distance, one or two white sails could be seen floating on the sea, but the surroundings became more and more peaceful.

Going back and forth, inside the swimming pool is a rectangular lotus pond, a small pond surrounded by gray-brown stones, with three lotus clusters floating on it, but it looks a bit decadent. I don't know if it is because of the dissatisfaction, or because it has not been taken care of for a long time.

The lotus pond divides the courtyard into two parts. The left side is connected to the stairs that just came in, and the right side is a gravel path that can allow a car to pass. The ground is covered with fine pebbles, and then the gravel Pieces of marble slabs are placed above the sub, creating a trail that can walk all the way from the tennis court to the indoor road. On the right side of the road is a row of palm trees that are not tall, and there is a row of unknown shrubs under the palm trees. Behind the palm trees is a part of the "concave" shape. It is estimated that you can see it after you walk inside .

Going behind the lotus pond, this is an open-air gathering place. On the left side of the cobblestone path is a low platform built with wooden floors. It is not a problem to accommodate at least 20 people. There are several rattan wooden chairs and a rectangular wooden table. , And two azure blue beach chairs. It is a good idea if you want to have a barbecue or party here.

Passing through this courtyard, you can directly enter the first floor of the villa. There are floor-to-ceiling glass windows that can be pushed and pulled between indoor and outdoor to prevent the invasion of sea breeze and rainstorm.

The first floor is obviously the hospitality hall. Entering from the outside, it is a dark gray carpet with a complete set of dark brown sofas. Opposite the sofa is a whole stone wall. There is a TV cabinet on the stone wall, but it is currently empty. Yes, there are places for speakers on both sides, which are also empty at this time.

Behind the waiting seats is a long row of bars, just like a formal bar. At the end of the bar is the kitchen and then the dining room. On the opposite side of the restaurant is the gym, sauna and bathroom. The overall color is to match stone brown, off-white, and light gray, which is simple and generous.

Between the restaurant and the gym is a wooden spiral staircase leading to the second floor. The second floor is the housing. There are four rooms, all of which are equipped with separate bathrooms. There is even a small living room between the four rooms. With a sofa and coffee table, people can sit here and have a chat before going to bed. The second floor is all decorated in light blue, mint green, lemon yellow and other refreshing and natural colors. The materials also continue the style of the entire villa: wood and stone walls are authentic and natural.

Finally, the third floor ~www.readwn.com~The third floor is completely entertaining space. The heavy use of dark blue and off-white makes the third floor feel full of the atmosphere of the sea. The huge space is divided into two parts, indoor They are two rooms, which can obviously be used as a study, warehouse or studio-Hugo’s collection and musical instruments can be placed here, including when he is writing scripts and music, they can also be fully used; while the outside is another world. A huge floor-to-ceiling glass window is the panoramic balcony. In addition to the elevated golf and pool table, there is also a hydromassage bathtub, a mobile bar, a small garden, and a number of beach chairs.

Standing next to the small garden on the third floor, you can see the swimming pool and tennis court on the first floor over the palm trees under your feet. The sea and sky at the far end are more spectacular in sight, and the left and right sides can also be faintly visible. Saw the neighbor's house next door. The scenery ascending is really amazing.

No wonder people always say that luxurious life is incomprehensible to ordinary people, because that is a completely different world. The floor area of ​​this villa is too big. Hugo strongly suspects that it will take 15 years to walk from the beach to the kitchen. Minutes, and the area of ​​a room on the third floor can be compared to the entire lobby of their current residence, and this is still the result of "simple decoration". Many household appliances and detailed designs can be modified according to their own style.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of Vanity Fair.
