About this home

Tucked into the hills of the Santa Monica Mountains, in one of the most charming neighborhoods in all of Topanga, sits this beautifully presented three-bedroom, three-bath home remodeled down to the studs in 2022 and ready to move into. On a street where birdsong is louder than traffic and neighbors still know your name. The approach sets the tone: a lush front yard, an apple tree, and a quiet sense of arrival. Step inside to vaulted wood-beamed ceilings and white European oak floors that flow naturally from the living room into the dining area, framed by views of the surrounding hills and greenery. Just beside it, a chef's kitchen with a Thor range, French door refrigerator, custom cabinetry, and a window above the sink overlooking the hillside. The kind of detail that makes every morning feel like a good one. From the living room and kitchen you enter into a private garden: a dining area and sitting space with gas fire pit. The garden centers around an oversized swim spa fully decked and lit, with room for eight and resistance jets for swimming. Drought-tolerant, low-maintenance landscaping throughout designed to be enjoyed, not managed. The primary suite has a walk-in closet, double vanity, grand double shower, and French doors that open directly to the garden. The second bedroom features an oversized closet, and just down the hall a beautifully finished guest bath with double vanity and soaking tub. Below the main floor, elegantly accessible through a concealed floor hatch or its own private entrance, a self-contained guest unit offers one bedroom, one bath with a kitchenette and real flexibility: rental income, a dedicated home office, or a private space for family and friends. The 2022 remodel left nothing untouched: new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof, gutters, back deck, retaining wall, and concrete perimeter channel. Every system. Every finish. Steps from some of Topanga's finest trails, in a neighborhood that feels wonderfully unchanged yet just 15 minutes to the beach and Woodland Hills, 30 to Santa Monica. This is a genuine refuge. A place where nature is right outside your door, the neighbors feel like family, and the daily grind feels very far away. Move straight in and start living.
