About This Home
There's a particular kind of morning that only a home like this can offer. Light pouring through picture windows that span the full width of the main living area, canyon ridges catching the early sun, the day beginning quietly and entirely on your own terms. This is what it feels like to live here. Set on a fenced lot of nearly 30,000 square feet, this five-bedroom, three-bathroom A-frame offers 3,340 square feet of thoughtfully arranged living space that feels completely at ease in the landscape surrounding it. The architecture doesn't sit in the canyon so much as belong to it, its angles echoing the ridgelines, its windows turning the view into something you live with rather than simply look at. The main level is open, warm, and grounded. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, casting the kind of warmth that makes evenings feel unhurried and full. The kitchen flows naturally from it, making the whole floor feel connected and effortless. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom complete this level, and wrap-around decks extend the living outward in every direction, blurring the line between inside and out in a way that feels natural through much of the year. Climb to the top level, and the home opens up entirely. The primary suite occupies the full floor, a loft-style retreat with a private bathroom, a dedicated office and library area, and a private patio sitting quietly above the tree line. The views from here carry across the canyon with a particular openness that comes from elevation and architecture working in rare agreement. This is a place for thinking, reading, and remembering why you chose this life. The lower level operates as a fully independent unit with its own two bedrooms, full bathroom, living and media room, and guest kitchen. Whether you're hosting extended family, accommodating a caregiver, or generating rental income, this level earns its place. The converted garage extends that versatility further as a studio, gym, or home office, making the property as flexible as it is beautiful. Outside, the location delivers on every front. A private gate opens onto a long driveway with parking on both sides, leading to Topanga School Road with Topanga Elementary just steps away and the Paul Revere Middle School bus stop is a short walk from the property. The canyon's library, market, shops, restaurants, and community gathering spots are all within easy walking distance, and Topanga Beach is approximately ten minutes by car. Recent updates include a new roof, refrigerator, cooktop, dishwasher, and water heater. Tucked between the Santa Monica Mountains and just minutes from Woodland Hills and the Pacific Coast Highway, Topanga has long drawn artists, naturalists, musicians, and free thinkers to a life rooted in nature, creativity, and genuine community. The Topanga Farmers Market, Topanga Days, outdoor concerts, and miles of trails through Topanga State Park and the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area make this one of the most distinctive and sought-after communities in Los Angeles County. Some homes are simply addresses. This one is the beginning of a different kind of life.
