Description
Not far from town, cradled safely behind live oak trees, this Topanga daydream hides in plain sight. High ceilings welcome you in, walls of windows fill the home with sunshine, and hardwood floors and handmade finishes make the dream real. If it ever gets chilly, you have a fireplace. If you need fresh air, you open a window. On the main floor, a 1 bedroom, 1 bath suite comes in handy as guest quarters or an art studio. Downstairs, 3 bedrooms connect you to the outdoors with balconies, patios, and a converted garage that functions as an indoor/outdoor gathering place for family and friends. Plenty of room to play outside or host a party. Retreat to a freestanding private office for peace and quiet if they get too loud. Take a dip in the heated cowboy pool at the end of the day. You've earned this!
