About This Home
Endless Views & Soulful Vibes. Set on a sun-drenched half-acre in the heart of Topanga, this enchanting 2-bedroom, 2-bath sanctuary offers panoramic canyon views and a seamless blend of creativity, comfort, and connection to nature. Brimming with quintessential Topanga charm and brimming with potential, this is more than a home, an invitation to live expansively and authentically. Step inside to an open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area where skylights and oversized windows flood the space with natural light, blurring the line between indoors and out. The layout flows effortlessly for entertaining or quiet evenings at home, while bohemian finishes and earthy textures infuse the space with warmth, artistry, and soul. This is a home that feels alive, with energy, character, and harmony. The primary suite is a calm retreat, featuring its own private deck, a custom closet, and direct access to a secluded hot tub, ideal for stargazing or early morning reflection. A second bedroom or flexible office space provides room to adapt to your lifestyle needs, and the detached guest house is a exceptional bonus that offers even more versatility, perfect for hosting visitors, creating a studio, or generating rental income. Outdoors, you'll find tucked-away sheds, spaces for gardening, and open sky stretching for miles. Whether you're envisioning using the sheds for your art studio or creating a compound of rich spices and herbs to grow, or simply a quiet haven to enjoy the ever-changing canyon light, the land welcomes your vision. Located just minutes from Topanga's village center, scenic hiking trails, Malibu's beaches, Santa Monica's energy, and the San Fernando Valley, this is a place where you can live, love, and grow into the next version of yourself
