There's a new luxury property for sale in Malibu, and it has an impressive celebrity history. Australian model Miranda Kerr and her husband, Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel, have listed their California compound for nearly $4.5 million. Before Kerr bought the California casual-style home, it was owned by famed actor James Whitmore, best known for his role in The Shawshank Redemption, as reported by Robb Report Real Estate. 

The rich, Hollywood provenance of the home is evident in its styling that celebrates the natural world and the California landscape. Incorporating elements of mid-century modern design, the casual style prioritizes indoor-outdoor living and creating cozy, welcoming spaces with natural materials. Images of Miranda Kerr's former home perfectly display how a home embodies these elements.

Starting the tour, the listing, held by Brian Goldberg at Luxury Malibu Property, describes that the California casual home has six beds and 5.1 baths, but what's most impressive is how the home interacts with the outdoor landscape. In the a-frame living room, floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, offering views of the beautiful coastline. An open-plan deck celebrates the indoor-outdoor connection even more, providing space to entertain and dine al fresco.

At the lower guesthouse, the natural beauty of this home becomes even more evident. A soothing, flowing waterfall empties into a verdant pond as you enter the property. Talk about a proper greeting.

A 40-foot-long pool and spa with a pool house create all the more reason to spend time in the great outdoors at Miranda Kerr's home. It's giving both function and form.

Indoors, high ceilings with visible beams lend a cozy and light-filled feel to every room. In the den, built-in platforms elevate the sofa and give a cool mid-century feel to the space. In the primary bedroom, a beautiful balcony allows the owner to spend time outdoors right before bed. It's a celebration of California's casual style from every angle.
