About this property
This majestic compound is a truly unique property composed of one 3 bedroom/2.5 bath home and a separate 1 bed/1 bath guest cottage. Upon arriving at the property, you'll find the cottage below and the main house at the top of the hill. Both properties can be used separately or easily combined by unlocking and opening gates around the property. As you enter through the front gate from the private parking area, you'll be greeted by a charming deck with an outdoor dining area, perfect for enjoying meals al fresco. The interior of the house is clean, airy, and spacious, with a designer kitchen for your culinary adventures. The living areas are thoughtfully designed, providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for relaxing and unwinding. Head upstairs to the primary and secondary bedrooms. These bedrooms share a full bath with steam shower. Surrounded by nature & boasting stunning views of the canyon, this sprawling property is the epitome of the Topanga experience.
