Description
Step into a rare and beautifully preserved piece of Topanga history. Directly across from a State Park trailhead, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence rests on a generous lot - nearly half an acre of usable land. Expansive cross-canyon views pair with a lush garden of winding pathways that gracefully surround the property. Ideally situated where Upper Encina meets Entrada, the home lies within the prestigious Post Office Tract. Wood-beamed ceilings, a striking Kiva fireplace, original wood floors, and vintage tilework in the kitchen and baths reflect a level of craftsmanship and design meant to endure.A detached ~500 sq ft studio with its own entrance, private parking, and water and electricity hookups adds exceptional versatility - ready to become whatever you envision: an artist's retreat, music studio, guest quarters, or private workspace. This home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Topanga as it once was - and to carry its story forward.
