Winston's Malibu Wonder, Estate of the Day
I have no idea who Stan Winston is but I think I'm in love. Celebrity Big Time Listings picked up on the Wall Street Journal's Private Properties piece (no link online yet) on Winston's Malibu beach house which is listed at $11.95 million. Turns out Winston is an esteemed makeup and special effects artist who has nabbed himself four Oscars in the course of his long career and he has created one stunning Malibu getaway. The home website calls it the Perfect Beach House. They aren't kidding although this home doesn't really have a beach house vibe. This home is drop-dead, smack-yourself-in-the-face gorgeous. The art in the place doesn't exactly give me the warm fuzzies but everything else is so spot on. I could even learn to love the rather institutional second bathroom. The home is cheek by jowl with other homes clustered on the beach and you don't get a pool, just a secluded outdoor hot tub which offers privacy but not much of a view.

Without a doubt one of the finest houses you have ever shown in this blog.

If it's the Stan Winston I'm thinking of, it's the guy who does practical special effects in movies. He did stuff for the Aliens and Terminator movies, among a myriad of other films.

Alright Luxistas... We need to find the name of this home's designers and give him/her a gold star! Although that is a lot of wood to polish inside/maintain outside!
