Barry Needs a Fanilow!
Barry Needs a Fanilow!
Must SeeTop 10 Florida Condos For SaleThe Urban Dictionary defines a Fanilow as a middle aged woman obsessed with Barry Manilow. So where are they? Surely one or some of them would love to have Barry’s Malibu beach house. Get together gals. Chip in and revel in knowing that he sat here, slept there and gazed across the beckoning Pacific from the deck. Did he dream up lyrics to songs while inspired by the sunsets? It’s almost more than a Fanilow can bear.
Again Barry has put this lovely house on the market. Charming, stylish, private and right on the beach, this 3,546sf home has 5 bedrooms, 5 baths, a beautiful courtyard entrance and a fabulous deck overlooking the beach and ocean. There is a detached guest house across the courtyard and covered parking for two cars. The property is walled and gated with an owner-owned security system to assure the utmost privacy. The best of both natural worlds all in one! You just don't expect being blessed with a garden at the beach. But again, neither do you expect to be positioned where you have a view down both sides of the beach for as far as you can see! Usually the view is straight ahead, but rarely do you have 180 degrees. What fun to bring the binoculars to people watch as well as whale watch while having lunch on the deck. This house has many rooms with expansive ocean views and also has fireplaces, soaring ceilings, office, and a media room. Inside one steps down to the two-story living room with its wall of glass looking out onto the ocean. The master suite is also oceanfront with the same dramatic view.
Previously asking $12.6m, the price was cut to $8m and now to $6.95m - unlikely that it will go any further. With all the sales activity the first part of the summer, we doubt it will stay on the market this time. Any wealthy Fanilows interested? Newly priced at $6.95m.
