An adult treehouse, hidden pathways and sweeping ocean views contribute to the adventurous spirit of this Malibu contemporary developed by former screenwriting and production duo Michael Manheim and Janus Cercone.

The newly renovated home retains in the expanded design the original 70-year-old pine siding wall, incorporating woodwork colored a sun-tinted blonde and notes of Douglas fir. In one of the bathrooms, a ceiling faucet feeds a 500-pound amethyst geode that has been refashioned as a sink.
