A home once owned by Judy Garland is for sale, and it’s not in Kansas
The gorgeous Malibu beach house is yours for $3.7 million
An idyllic Malibu beach house formerly owned by singing sensation Judy Garland has come on the market for a cool $3.7 million (approximately £2.8 million).
The Wizard of Oz star bought the place in 1947 while married Vincente Minnelli. There have been significant changes since Judy resided there though; in fact it was completely rebuilt in 2013, so it looks a bit different to when she owned it!

The 1,728 sq ft property is set over three floors and has three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
It has a steep-pitched roof, vaulted ceilings and white walls and ceilings throughout which all combine to create a feeling of spaciousness. The living room has 10 ft high accordion doors that open seamlessly on to an expansive wrap-around wooden deck.
And beyond that, nothing but unspoiled panoramic views across the Pacific Ocean. That’s right, the property sits directly on the beachfront, with direct access to a wet sandy beach.
The ground floor is home to a large open-plan kitchen-dining-living area, while the three bedrooms are on the second and third floors.

The master bathroom has a luxurious steam shower and custom tile work…
…and the kitchen has marble countertops and a beautiful tiled splashback.
All in all it’s a place of understated elegance. In fact the listing describes it as ‘one of the finest homes on the beach in Malibu’. The property is on the market with Compass.
