Rare and Updated Mid-Century Architectural Masterpiece in Prime Topanga Canyon. At the end of a long, private driveway in the coveted Entrada Neighborhood of Topanga Canyon, this rare architectural gem by Matthew Leizer sits on nearly 1 acre double lot, surrounded by mature oaks and drought-resistant native plants. The property consists of two APNs (parcels), with the main house on one and the potential for expansion or new construction on the second parcel, which has its own street access.The main level boasts an open floor plan with rich wood paneling, high ceilings, and a stunning wood-burning fireplace. Walls of glass allow natural light to flood the space and offer views of the lush landscaping. Thoughtfully refreshed with modern touches, the home features wide-plank wood floors, designer-done marble countertops, and top appliances. The spacious living and dining areas connect to the updated kitchen, complete with two peninsulas, a wet bar service counter, and a wine fridge. A large walk-in pantry provides ample storage, while the adjacent breakfast area is perfect for casual dining.The main level also includes two guest bedrooms that share a large hall bath. Enter the Primary Suite with views of both the front and back yards, with a walk-in closet, an additional nook that can serve as a second walk-in closet or office, two private sitting decks, and a luxurious marble-accented bath with a separate tub and shower.Downstairs, a versatile bonus room, complete with a full bath and a private entrance, could be used as a second casual living room or divided to create a fourth bedroom. The outer ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) could be converted into a studio, gym, office, or even a fifth bedroom and bath by future owners, providing endless possibilities for additional living space.The property is an entertainer's dream, with multiple outside deck spaces, including front and rear patios. A newly completed 800-square-foot play yard with synthetic grass sits in the front, shaded by a 40-year-old eucalyptus and surrounded by native oaks, offering a flat, family-friendly area for children and pets. The home also includes a two-car carport with a Tesla charging station.The winding garden paths and scenic views of the Santa Monica Mountains from the patios and primary suite enhance outdoor living. From the top lot, there's a pocket view of the ocean. The location provides a peaceful, retreat-like setting while remaining just a short distance from the charming Fernwood marketplace, and walking distance to Topanga State Park, perfect for hiking and outdoor activities. 5-minute drive to your local grocery store and gourmet coffee shop. 15-minute drive to Gelson's and the conveniences of Calabasas or a 15-minute drive to the Malibu coast for a sandy day at the beach.This beautifully updated home offers modern luxury while preserving its mid-century architectural roots, making it a rare and exceptional find in the heart of Topanga Canyon. |
