Hillside Cabin in Peaceful Neighborhood with Separate Rental Unit. Originally a logger's cabin, this multi-level home is tucked among powerful boulders & cool patios on a lush hillside. The property is imbued with a calm outdoor presence. Three bedrooms include a separately accessed, light and airy lower level apartment with wood floor, plentiful storage, and an alluring reading alcove. The lower bathroom's tiled vanity, circular shower door, and stone floor are stylishly compact. A giant boulder landscapes the upper entryway with grace and substance, backdrops a Zen reflection pool, and beckons into a garden enclave beyond. Floor to ceiling glass encloses the home's foyer while bringing the garden indoors. The kitchen-dining area is defined by a parquet floor, the slanted angles of a white farmhouse tongue-in-groove ceiling, stained glass light fixture, granite counters, newer white cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, and a serene view of the garden from the upgraded kitchen sink. Outside, a plant-friendly kitchen patio leads to the washer and dryer in a covered utility corridor.Stepping up to the living room, a Swedish fireplace with brick surround, plaster walls, wood floors, and exposed beam ceiling evoke a simpler era. A large picture window with charming accent windows frame views of the Santa Monica Mountains dappled by the leaves of mature bay laurel trees. Central air and heating make the home comfortable year-round. The focal point of the master bedroom is a bay window seat overlooking a sprawling oak tree and fairytale neighborhood. The third bedroom, or office, feels clean and spacious with its wood floors, mirrored closet doors, and yet another bay window that makes you want to pick up a book and become one with the scenery. Large pottery floor tiles and a glass vanity/basin lend modern elegance to the upstairs full bath. Restore yourself in nature, or entertain friends in a unique setting at the top patio, where a spa is set among boulders, cool breezes tussle palm fronds and ferns, and a massive altar- like stone playfully serves as a bar. Located near Topanga's town center, but away from street noise, this home feels snug behind a beefy gate and street-front privacy fence, beyond which there is space to park three cars. Located just 3 miles to beach access and mountain recreation outside your door, this is the home you've been waiting for! Additional parcel included!
