Designer Craftsman and Guest House. Perched atop a gentle rise within the coveted Entrada Stone Gates in Topanga’s storied Post Office Tract, this bright canyon retreat captures the essence of refined rustic living. Reached by a private driveway and enfolded in ancient oaks, the home sits on nearly an acre of fully fenced, landscaped grounds, where nature and design coexist in perfect harmony. Expansive views spill across the horizon, framed by the silhouettes of mature trees and the shimmer of sunlight that filters through their leaves. French parquet wood flooring brings a timeless quality to the rooms. The open plan invites togetherness. The large, usable yard provides moments of quiet contemplation, and room to roam. Inside, the renovated main residence unfolds with an airy, open plan, three serene bedrooms, two elegantly refreshed bathrooms, and soaring, double-height ceilings capped with clerestory windows that invite light to dance across every surface. Vast glass windows dissolve the boundary between interior and landscape, creating a luminous canvas of sky, green, and golden warmth. The heart of the home, a spacious kitchen lined with long granite counters and stainless-steel appliances, feels both sculptural and functional. An integrated water filter, modern fixtures, and a generous washer and dryer make daily life effortlessly graceful. At the center of it all, a wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, its quiet glow extending toward decks that stretch outward as freely as the home’s spirit. The broad outdoor decks, equal in size to the home itself, host an open-air cedar spa sunken into the decking, poised to take in the sweeping canyon views. Lanterns strung among the trees flicker in soft choreography, their light controllable from within the home, casting an enchanting glow over evenings spent beneath the stars. Near the entrance to the property, a detached guest house offers a kitchenette and bath, and boundless flexibility, an inspiring creative studio, a welcoming suite for guests, or a peaceful office immersed in nature. The property’s thoughtful features continue outward: a fully fenced yard, a large enclosed vegetable garden, a private pet yard, all nestled among the trees. The estate’s modern fencing and gated back entrance provide both elegance and security, while professional landscaping, maintained and included in the rent, ensures that the grounds remain as pristine as they are poetic. This home’s peaceful seclusion allows for mindful living attuned to Topanga’s natural rhythms. Its nearness to the local cafes and shops, the beach, and just a short distance from the state park trails that wind through sun-dappled canyons, this home offers both retreat and adventure, a place where you can wander, dream, and create. It is a sanctuary of space and light, where modern comfort meets timeless tranquility, and every sunset over the hills feels like the day’s final brushstroke.
