See inside this chic Malibu beach house, once home to Judy Garland

The Malibu beach house where Judy Garland lived with her second husband, Vincente Minnelli, and their daughter, Liza Minnelli, has gone on the market for $3.895 million.

The Hollywood icon - known for starring in some of the biggest hits of the Golden Age like The Wizard of Oz, Meet Me in St Louis, The Harvey Girls, and Easter Parade - lived at the home after it was built in 1947 into the 1950s.

With  1,311 square feet, the beach house sits on Malibu’s Las Tunas Beach within a stretch of beach homes that have been the backdrop for a number of films.

Interior design-wise, the contemporary coastal-chic home channels Cape Cod style, with light, bright rooms allowing the blues of the never-ending sky and ocean vista to sing.

White shiplap on the walls and the roof add texture to the all-white interior, and botanical prints and modern art inject a splash of color.

Rustic flooring running throughout the property enhances the beachy feel, and is extended onto the front courtyard, through which you enter the home.

The modern kitchen is given extra interest with an encaustic tile splash back, and has been completely updated with marble countertops and Viking appliances.
