About this single-family home
The Artist's Way Compound. Offer Deadline 01/30/2024, 6:00 PM. Topanga Skyline is a whole vibe; a close knit neighborhood drenched in sunlight, and graced with epic views. Creatives are drawn here, and music wafts through the trees. The 1920s main house calls to Greece, with white arches, beamed ceilings, and an arched fireplace. Downstairs the foyer leads to a landing overlooking the living room with French doors and a sweet window seat. The charming dining room leads to the updated kitchen, and a walk in pantry that doubles the kitchen storage. Up the whitewashed stairs, 2 large bedrooms, and one small one, look out at the views. The primary bedroom has 2 joined rooms and a walk in closet. A deck with a pergola looks over the gardens, below. A patio behind the upper floor is a shady retreat from the world. A back gate leads to steps up the hill to the second lot, with views of Red Rock, and Saddle Peak. A flat area up the slope is waiting for a Gazebo or a hot tub, orchards, or a Teepee, to take full advantage of the epic vistas. The home is set in flat gardens, with newly refreshed landscaping, and there is room for veggie gardens or perhaps a pool. Lavender, Rosemary and pine perfume the air of the walled gardens. Beyond the main house, up a deck path covered by a grapevine draped pergola, sits an artist's dream! In its own huge, private yard, this barn-like home was built in the 70s as an art studio, with massive, industrial, sliding walls of metal and glass, and salvaged beams. Steps lead up past the laundry room to a massive great room. The soaring ceiling has clerestory windows to harvest more of the golden sunlight. A loft bedroom sits above an open, remodeled kitchen. An updated bath with a shower sits beside the steps. A separate, enchanted, skylit "bath" room with a soaking tub and a vanity, and wood shingled walls, is a self care idyll! Up a narrow stair, a bright tower room looks over the private yard. Decks extend the living to the spacious yard. Up a path two studios beckon. Perfect as artist's studios, although previously used as bedrooms, these charming cottages have porches and decks, and look out to mountains, above. There are trails nearby. The Boho shops and cafes, yoga and dance studios are nearby. A quick drive takes you to the coast or the valley. This isn't just a property; it's a multisensory experience, a journey through history, art, and nature. It's a place where every corner, every path, every room tells a story, inviting you to become a part of its rich tapestry. In this secluded corner of Topanga, you find not just a home, but an escape, a connection to a simpler, more beautiful world, where the boundaries between art, nature, and living blur into a harmonious whole.
