Hollywood action star Jason Statham recently listed his lovely Malibu beach house for sale for almost $20 million. Without a doubt, he wants a “fast and furious” sale.
The rustic four-bedroom cottage on the Pacific Ocean was bought by the actor, 52, who is best known for playing the villainous Deckard Shaw in the Fast and Furious films, ten years ago.
The big-biceped British man stands to make a sizeable profit if he sells for even a small portion of the $19.95 million asking price given that he reportedly spent $10.6 million on the beach property back in 2009. That translates to an average annual value rise of over $1 million.
The house’s appeal is greatly influenced by its breathtaking setting. The Colony area of Malibu’s coveted Colony neighborhood’s secured gates conceal “The Blac House,” as it is lovingly known, directly on the private beach at the tip of a peninsula.
The house is remarkable for its exterior of cedar shingles and black-painted, ominous-looking paint. There are three bedrooms and three bathrooms in the 3,900 square foot main residence. At the back of the property is a standalone guest cottage with a self-contained one-bedroom apartment over a two-car garage.
The home’s most outstanding feature—the stunning vistas of the crashing Pacific from almost every window—is now fully utilized. The roomy decks are great for watching the local Surfrider beach’s surfers ride the swells or admiring another California sunset.
The main living area is a tranquil haven with its floor to ceiling windows and access to the seaside deck made of Burmese teak. The large, cushioned couches by the windows are perfect for unwinding.
Just off the main living space is a comfortable lounge with a huge stone fireplace and floor to ceiling storage full of fuel. The adjacent TV room has black-painted bookcases that go well with the architecture of the house.
Once more, the big, minimalist kitchen is all-gray and all-black. It boasts premium Gaggenau appliances, chic stainless steel counters, and dark gray German Bulthaup cabinetry.
When you ascend the stairs to the second floor, the master bedroom takes up the whole width of the house. With floor to ceiling windows and four white-wood framed doors that open out to a private balcony, it makes the most of the refreshing coastal winds.
