A secluded sanctuary with unprecedented access in Topanga Canyon. This newly renovated, designer modern craftsman with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a separate recreation room is an architectural gem in one of the most central areas of Topanga. The creekside property features a saltwater Balinese plunge pool with spa jets and a hot waterfall, an adjacent lounge and yoga deck, a separate above-ground spa for cool canyon nights, and an expansive flagstone patio shaded by old-growth oaks. A pergola, complete with an outdoor living room featuring a movie screen and heaters, is perfect for al fresco dining. The gated side and front yards boast top-of-the-line turf and mature landscaping, with endless blooms throughout spring and summer. As you step inside the 2,500-square-foot home, the double-story, 25-foot exposed oak wood ceiling and French doors throughout create a sense of grandeur and seamless indoor-outdoor living. An original stone wood-burning fireplace warms the entire home on cold winter nights. The recently renovated custom kitchen invites your inner chef to craft favorite dishes sourced from the local farmers' market, just across the street from the home. The ground floor also boasts an elegant dining room with French doors opening to the outdoor patio, a formal living room, a den, and an office/library or fourth bedroom with a half bath. Built-in hi-fi speakers create the perfect ambiance for even the most discerning audiophile. Upstairs, three bedrooms are connected by an open catwalk with 360-degree tree-top views. The luxurious primary suite features vaulted ceilings, a caddy-corner gas fireplace, a private balcony, and a marble and stone-clad spa bathroom with a glass walk-in shower and separate jacuzzi tub. The suite also includes a walk-in closet and built-in hi-fi speakers. The guest bedroom/workout room features a vaulted ceiling and a private balcony with a cafe table, perfect for a post-workout coffee. Two bedrooms share a spacious second bath with double sinks and a glass-enclosed shower and tub. Enjoy direct access to some of the best hiking trails in the canyon from your front door, plus a short distance to TLC Cafe, Cafe on 27, the Topanga Community Center (offering events, sports, and a playground), Theatricum Botanicum for Shakespeare and theater under the oaks, and Canyon Bakery for fresh pastries and bread. Conveniently located just ten minutes from Calabasas shopping, five minutes from Topanga Village, fifteen minutes from Malibu beaches, and twenty-five minutes from Santa Monica, this private retreat offers the best of both worlds: the tranquility of nature with the convenience of nearby amenities. This forever home is an entertainer's dream, with the option to purchase the property fully furnished.
