Property Description
Welcome to your peaceful hideaway in the heart of Topanga. This 1925 storybook cottage, originally built as a hunter's cabin, has been lovingly transformed into a charming retreat nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains. This two-bedroom, one-bath home is move-in ready, featuring updated appliances and a warm, inviting ambiance. Step inside to an open kitchen with high-beam ceilings and a cozy living room anchored by a fireplace. The deck extends the living space outdoors, inviting you to immerse yourself in nature and take in the surrounding views. Birds, majestic oaks, and sun-kissed canyon hills are your closest neighbors. Downstairs, you'll find two cozy bedrooms and an updated bathroom with a soaking tub/shower. A storage shed on the property offers potential for an art studio, workshop, or private office. Additional highlights include fruit trees and an outdoor shower. Endless hiking trails and Topanga State Park are just moments away. Tucked into the private Sylvia Park neighborhood, yet only a short drive to the Valley or the PCH, this home offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience.
