Gimme Shelter

Writer's retreat!

7 BR, 7.5 BTH seaside spread in Malibu ASKING PRICE $8.1 million

This one's as good as it gets. Writer - director - producer James L. Brooks and his wife, Holly (they separated in 1999), are selling the oceanfront getaway they've owned for 11 years. Built in 1982, the 5,000-plus square foot home has Brazilian cherry wood floors, a gourmet kitchen, a media room, and a master bedroom suite with a fireplace and a deck that faces the Pacific. The property -- Goldie Hawn and Steven Spielberg are neighbors -- also includes a gated courtyard and an outdoor entertainment area with a kitchen and stone spa. The Brookses also own a 9,000 square foot home in L.A.'s tony Brentwood area that is not on the market.
