1149 Old Topanga Canyon Road

About this home

Available furnished for short or extended stays, with flexible terms from 3 months to a full year. Set above the oaks behind a private gate, this light-filled canyon home pairs natural beauty with a clean, contemporary feel. Walls of windows and bi-fold doors frame sweeping Santa Monica Mountains views from every room, while wide oak floors throughout keep the whole house warm and grounded. The living room rises to a soaring ceiling and opens through glass accordion doors onto an ipe deck, with a modern built-in, motorized shades, and a home cinema with surround sound rounding out the space. From there it flows into a reimagined dining room and an open floorplan built for gathering. The kitchen comes well equipped for the home cook, with high-end appliances, custom oak cabinetry, Carrara countertops, and a large center island and breakfast area. A custom built-in bench and shelving create a cozy library nook, and a fully redesigned fireplace anchors the family room. Upstairs, an airy primary suite steps out to a treetop deck made for sunsets, joined by two more bedrooms and designer tile bathrooms. Outdoors there's room to spread out across multiple split decks, with a wooden dining table set up for long evenings among the flowers and citrus trees. The separate writers studio is included although reserved for specific uses. The 2-car garage and carport include EV charging, and the garage runs on a mini-split, so it works just as easily as a bonus room. A short block from Red Rock Park and its trailheads, 15 minutes to Malibu or the Valley, and 25 to Santa Monica, this is a quiet furnished retreat from the city with everything you need close at hand.
