Description
This charming 1940s three-bedroom, two-bath home pairs authentic canyon character with a practical, light-filled layout. The property is framed by mature elm and oak trees and offers views toward Saddle Peak. Set on Shady Lane, one of Topanga's quieter canyon streets, it offers easy access to local trails, Topanga Elementary, and the beach. Inside the main house, the living room features vaulted ceilings, wood-paneling, a brick fireplace, and built-in bookshelves. A bay window spanning the breadth of the room allows canyon light to illuminate the interior. Beyond the window, a spacious and recently restored deck welcomes the sounds and sights of canyon life. The kitchen blends 1940s elegance with updated appliances, opening on to the dining room so you stay connected to family and guests while cooking. The main level features two sunlit bedrooms: a primary suite with high ceilings and a skylit bathroom, and an adjacent second bedroom ideal for a children's bedroom or main-floor office. Downstairs, the naturally cool third bedroom suite includes a full bath with a soaking tub, deep closet, and private deck access, making it an ideal guest retreat. A standalone, newly renovated 220-square-foot studio with its own vaulted ceiling and deck is located on the top level of the landscaped garden, offering a creative workspace or additional living area. Beneath the ADU and garden beds, a flat, fenced yard offers plentiful space for outdoor dining and play, while further down the hillside a terraced garden offers a shady retreat beneath oak and lemon trees. Recently upgraded with re-finished hardwood floors and a renovated outside deck, the property also features a brand-new HVAC system and a 220V EV charger. This canyon sanctuary combines the character of old Topanga with the possibilities of the new. Truly a beautiful home.
