About This Home
This majestic compound is a truly unique property composed of one 3 bedroom/2.5 bath home and a separate 1 bed/1 bath guest cottage. Upon arriving at the property, you'll find the cottage below and the main house at the top of the hill. Both properties can be used separately or easily combined by unlocking and opening gates around the property. As you enter through the front gate from the private parking area, you'll be greeted by a charming deck with an outdoor dining area, perfect for enjoying meals al fresco. The interior of the house is clean, airy, and spacious, with a designer kitchen for your culinary adventures. The living areas are thoughtfully designed, providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for relaxing and unwinding. Head upstairs to the primary and secondary bedrooms. These bedrooms share a full bath with steam shower. Surrounded by nature & boasting stunning views of the canyon, this sprawling property is the epitome of the Topanga experience. The separate guest suite in the converted garage boasts its own full bath with shower, kitchenette work station, and queen bed. This bedroom has an outdoor entrance, with french doors overlooking a lower patio, making it ideal for guests seeking privacy and tranquility. Step outside and immerse yourself in the beauty of the outdoors. Live Oaks, Eucalyptus, Kumquat, Lime, Bay, Rosemary, Jasmine... these are just some of the plants situated within the garden. A separate yoga studio situated in the upper garden (with the best view on the property!) offers a serene place to move and recharge. The lower garden features an electric barrel sauna, cold shower & unheated plunge pool... perfect for unwinding and rejuvenating. Enjoy a game of bocce on the lower terrace or bounce around on the trampoline, providing fun for all ages. On the same property but separated by hedges and a fence you will find a little cottage. You are welcomed into a bright, high-ceiling living space with thoughtful decor and French doors looking out onto the charming, private, quiet outdoor space.
