About this home

Perched in the serene hills of Topanga Canyon, this fully gated compound feels like a hidden gem. Set on more than half an acre of oak-studded land, the property includes a newly renovated two-bedroom, two-bath main house, a detached guest house, a beautiful original stone house/art studio or office plus a new Yurt! Inside the main house, the living room has so much charm and character, with a stone hearth and wood-burning stove at the center of it all. The central den/music room can easily become a study, playroom, or whatever else you need, and it opens to the downstairs bedroom and bath. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite feels like its own private retreat, with another wood-burning stove, a wall of windows looking out into the oak canopy, a large primary bath, and a walk-in closet. The spacious remodeled kitchen opens onto a beautiful stone terrace, making outdoor dining easy and giving you a front-row seat to the canyon views. From there, a hidden path leads to a view deck tucked into the landscape. The expansive flat lawns offer plenty of room to relax, gather, play, or start a vegetable garden. There's also a beautiful natural-light-filled yurt, added by the current owner, that could be used for healing work, wellness practices, meditation, creative projects, or simply as another quiet place to get away. Down the lower gated driveway, a separate pad with room for an Airstream or a tiny house adds even more flexibility for guests, studio space, or a private retreat. Close to Topanga State Park, this is a special kind of Topanga property, with privacy, character, creative spaces, and plenty of room to settle into canyon life.
