About This Home

As of August 2020

A modern treehouse w/stunning canyon views, walls of glass and lots of light providing a seamless indoor/outdoor lifestyle. This three story house with a zen-like atmosphere has an open feeling starting with the first floor, whose living room, kitchen, dining room and den have views of the canyon through lush trees. There’s a wood burning fireplace in the living room, sliding floor-to-ceiling windows in the dining room and a deck off of the den. Second floor has a lofted office, two closets, bedroom and bathroom all with commanding treetop views and a flood of natural light. The top floor is a scenic roof deck with 180-degree views, outdoor kitchenette and patio dining. At ground level is a hot tub, private outdoor shower and a small indoor/outdoor workshop or office. Oversized carport can fit more than two cars and there is extra storage in the unfinished basement. Home has been recently renovated throughout, including new appliances, landscaping and motorized exterior solar shades that keep the house cool in the summer. A truly special home located in the Fernwood neighborhood of Topanga Canyon. Set near the end of a cul-de-sac on a quiet street, the house is uber-private yet close to town. Less than 10min to the beach and 20min to Santa Monica.
