About This Home

As of May 2025

Expansive view-filled Topanga home offers unparalleled access to nature with Topanga State Park bordering two sides sunset views over the mountains from the wrap around decks, and so many outdoor moments. The newly-painted main house offers four spacious bedrooms, three full baths, with all living and sleeping areas opening to the outdoors. The chef's kitchen features an open workspace, with long granite counters, breakfast bar and professional gas stove, making it perfect for entertaining. The large dining room can hold a table big enough for a feast, and is flooded with natural light. The stunning wood floors throughout are made from reclaimed barnwood. The living room has a wood burning stove, soaring high ceilings and, of course, stunning views. The private primary retreat occupies the top floor, and has its own viewing deck, newer engineered wood floors, huge walk in closet and an enormous bathroom with beautifully tiled shower and an oversized tub for ultimate relaxation. The utility room off the kitchen offers lots of storage along with laundry facilities and cabinets. The lower level features a massive bonus room with multiple possibilities, from a recording studio, workshop, dark room or art studio. Separate from the house, the private one bedroom guest house has large windows with pleated blinds that roll up for the mountain views, a full bath, a complete kitchen with custom cabinetry and multi-tiered lighting, and a stacked laundry closet making it ideal for guests or a rental opportunity. The private deck with views of the state park, seasonal creek and waterfall add to the ambiance. Additional amenities include a large flat area perfect for a play structure or pool, a covered potting area, and a detached three car garage with a utility sink and lots of storage. There is beautiful natural landscaping with fruit trees including plum,lemon,lime, tangerine, pomegranate, two kinds of oranges, loquat and kumquat, along with seasonal matilija poppies. Access to scenic trails for outdoor adventures is just around the bend in the road. This is one of the quietest (and friendliest) locations in Topanga, where you can enjoy the sounds of nature and the seasonal waterfall instead of the hustle of the noise of the city. Experience the perfect blend of comfort and natural beauty in this Topanga gem.
