Tucked into the hills of Topanga, this rare 1930s retreat blends timeless character with thoughtfully curated modern updates and sweeping canyon and mountain views. Original hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings and exposed wood beams create a warm and authentic atmosphere, while expansive windows frame the surrounding landscape. The main living level features a dramatic living room with soaring ceilings and a wood-burning stove, flowing into the dining area and remodeled chef's kitchen with custom walnut cabinetry, volcanic stone countertops, a Viking range and an adjacent lounge area ideal for entertaining. Two guest bedrooms on this level enjoy peaceful views, along with a full bathroom with backyard access and a convenient half bath with double sinks. The lower level offers a serene primary suite with a spa-like en-suite bath featuring dual sinks, a clawfoot tub and a glass-enclosed shower, plus an oversized flexible room perfect for a screening room, office or creative space. Outdoors, enjoy a private, resort-style setting with lush landscaping, a saltwater pool and spa, expansive patios and multiple outdoor living areas. A true Topanga escape approximately six miles to Woodland Hills and ten miles to the beach.
