The Garwood residence in Malibu, designed by famed architect, John Lautner has returned to the market with a discounted asking price of $14.9 million. The home was first listed for sale sometime back in July 2012 with a 15.9 million price tag. Failing to sell then, the property was delisted in December that year.
