With a blend of vintage charm & tasteful modern upgrades, my property offers a unique and inviting experience. The large solid wood dining table and spacious chairs clad the DINING AREA, claim their identity as the “Great Gatherer,” while a wood burning hearth disclaims cold winter nights. The CB2 Piazza sofa and two large swivel cuddlers surrounded by a sea of pillows, provide a perfect spot to cocoon for reading or enjoying Home Theater projections. The front porch with its harmonious blend of nature and comfort, offers yet another serene place to relax. UNIQUE OUTDOOR FEATURES The house is proudly erected on a canyon terrain, surrounded by a lovely fenced yard. The property’s secret garden is a sensory delight, with lavender, scented geraniums, mint, and native plants creating an olfactory journey. A growing orchard, vegetable planters, and an herb garden provide fresh ingredients for your meals. The charming gazebo, small outdoor fitness area with a punching bag and inversion table, and hammocks under a towering olive tree extend your living space into the outdoors. The backyard, shared with guests of the "Pristine Bungalow Nestled in the Topanga Woods" if present, is a tranquil retreat filled with natural beauty. INVITING INDOOR SPACES The front door opens onto a collection of interdependent environments that blend harmoniously. The house embodies simplicity and honesty in construction, with a bank of windows inviting natural light and fostering a functional relationship with the surrounding nature. The living room and dining area feature high ceilings with exposed beams and beautiful wooden frames around all doors and windows. Wall-to-wall mirrors enhance the sense of space and coziness, while recessed lighting and various accent lights create a warm ambiance. The room exudes an eclectic feel with subtle flavors of Asia, India, Africa, and France, inviting simplicity and serenity. The stunning vintage maple flooring with its natural patterns adds a pristine and refined feel to the house. MODERN AMENTIES Despite its rustic charm, the house offers all the amenities of modern life. The high-tech kitchen\*\*\*\* with bucolic accents is equipped with ample stone countertops, modern cabinetry, and large capacity appliances to streamline meal preparation. You’ll find everything you need to hone your culinary skills, including a baking stand mixer, blender, food processor, juicer, rice maker, yogurt maker, ice cream maker, crepe maker, vegetable steamer, slow cooker, pressure cooker, fondue set, toaster, French press, drip coffee maker, Nespresso machine, tea pot, and both electric and traditional gas kettles. The kitchen’s location adjacent to the exterior entrance and outdoor terrace creates a seamless flow for al fresco dining. COMFORTABLE AND FLEXIBLE SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS The two cozy bedrooms are designed for relaxation. They are temperate and well-ventilated, with large windows allowing natural light to flow in and strategically place mirrors to create small spaces that live large. The first bedroom features a twin bed with a pullout bed on a pop-up frame, offering flexibility with four different configurations: king size, OR one single day bed, to create space for a study/reading room, OR two singles arranged in an L-shape at different levels to accommodate young children. The second bedroom offers a stunning canyon view from its comfortable queen-size bed, with a simple white palette accentuated by vibrant cushions. TRANQUIL BATHROOM RETREAT The bathroom, located across from the bedrooms, beckons with its cleansing energy. Carved in natural hues, it features a stone feel softened by water, air, and three different lighting systems: bright, soft, and Himalayan. The earthy tones of the tiling echo the greenery peeking through the window, which you can enjoy while reclining in the inlaid bathtub. Bright white walls adorned with Capiz paper shell flat bead curtains add an element of fluidity to the space. A HARMONIOUS BLEND OF NATURE AND COMFORT Expect cleanliness, tranquility, and beauty within and without. By day, enjoy a visual tapestry of trees and vegetation, including California Oaks, Olive trees, ferns, massive boulders, and wildflowers. At night, experience an entrancing symphony orchestrated by frogs and crickets, conducted by owls. A wide variety of wildlife thrives beyond the wooden fence, though inaccessible to guests. The pristine sky often dazzles the stargazer, making this property a true retreat into nature's embrace. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Smart TV - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Office - Printer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - In the mountains - Near a hospital - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Billiards/pool table - Gym - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Ice skating nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 800 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116790000/116783300/116783257/w1200h799x0y1-9b2686e2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming 2-bedroom chateau with WiFi, fitness room in Topanga Fernwood - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 2.0 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=116783257&PinnedHotelID=116783257&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/36000000/35080000/35076200/35076192/w1297h866x0y0-f89d8ede.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Topanga Mountain Paradise - a dream getaway Topanga - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 14 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=35076192&PinnedHotelID=35076192&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/58000000/57330000/57325900/57325895/9f3e90a2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Topanga Retreat with a Huge Private Backyard Los Angeles - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 7.8 Good 64 reviews CA $347 CA $794 total includes taxes & fees Sep 29 - Sep 30 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-09-29&endDate=2025-09-30&selected=57325895&PinnedHotelID=57325895&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37250000/37243400/37243375/567289af.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Large Comfy Topanga Canyon Family Getaway near State Park and Pacific Ocean Sylvia Park - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 51 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=37243375&PinnedHotelID=37243375&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, books, offices](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66830000/66822400/66822387/ffec0943.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 30% OFF!
