Offer deadline Tuesday 4/8 by 6pm. Verdant View Cottage. Sunlight filtering through lush trees, streaming into wraparound windows. Fragrant jasmine scents the air. Cooling coastal breezes rustle through the chapparal. This is the Topanga life, in this bright, updated, romantic, view home. Sit on the front porch, and greet your neighbors. The great room with wood stove, old stone fireplace, and elegant, updated kitchen hosts your new life. There is room here for dining, lounging, working, living. French doors lead to a wide deck, spacious patios, and cross canyon views. The call of hawks and owls sing of the wild trails nearby. The main bedroom, with hearty wood floors, feels like a tree house with walls of windows open to the sounds of the canyon. A deep soaking tub sits by a propane-fired toasty wood stove, and takes in the dreamy views. Fling open the windows of the ensuite bathroom, to invite the outside in. Downstairs, a large suite with clawfoot tub, a shady porch, complete with bench swing, and a charming kitchenette works as an extra bedroom or an AirBnB, with separate, private entrance. The garage could be a beautiful studio or workshop space. Impeccably maintained, with updated systems and mini-splits, this home is the perfect entree into a relaxing life in the coastal mountains. Escape the hustle of city life, and come let the frogs serenade you from the creek, below. Grand View is just minutes to the sweet shops, cafes, music and theater venues, galleries, and the Topanga Farmer’s Market. Santa Monica, Malibu, and the valley are all a short drive away. Hummingbirds flutter from flower to flower. Fruit trees and gardens let your green thumb thrive. Or you can just relax and watch the clouds float by.
