Lakeshore Drive, Agoura Hills, California
Hi friends! Today we're going to Agoura Hills, California and this 1974 home on Malibou Lake. For those fans of the TV show Parks and Recreation, Malibou Lake is the film location of Donna's lake house. There's a great post about that here.
Beautiful setting, but we're more interested in this beautiful house. Let's check out the living room:
Nice stone fireplace. This room just needs to be opened up more to the lake view.
This design a good fit. I know it's a perfect fit, actually, because this is what they did when they remodeled this house. Welcome to another episode of If It Were Mine I Would Do Exactly What They Did.

Here is the master bathroom:
Here is another bedroom before and after:
I'm not positive that's the same room, but no matter, because it's still pretty enough to share.
All in all, this house would be a spectacular retreat for someone who has saved their pennies.
