20930 Shady Ln, Topanga, CA 90290

This is the storybook Topangan setting you've been waiting for! Park behind the automated gate and let the adventure unfold. A shaded walkway beneath fragrant wisteria leads you to a kitchen filled with 1940s charm and detail. Better yet, you could amble through the mature, thoughtful landscaping, ascend the stairs to the sunny deck, and take in the terraced gardens and fenced, flat, and usable yard. Gaze cross-canyon to Saddle Peak, or turn your attention to the backyard mother oak shading the seasonal creek babbling beneath her. Enter the bright and airy living room featuring a storied brick fireplace, vaulted ceiling, built-in bookshelves, period-specific chandeliers, and a massive bay window where you can relax with your favorite novel. On the same ground floor are two bedrooms warmed by the afternoon sun, each with ample closet space, the primary boasting a proper en suite bathroom that has high ceilings and a skylight of its own. Downstairs you'll find a second bedroom suite, with a deep closet, full bathroom with soaking tub, access to the lower deck, and perhaps the most perfectly framed views of this enchanting property's sylvan setting. A recently and meticulously renovated, freestanding 220 square foot studio completes the picture for artists, musicians, tinkerers of every ilk, or anyone who needs a satellite location to work from home. The ideal mid-canyon location means you have direct access to Topanga State Park trailheads, and you're never more than 20 minutes from Topanga Beach or the cafes and conveniences of the valley. But with local favorite Froggy's Fish Market and Cantina reopened and a mere 3-minute walk from your front door, maybe you'll never have to leave your cozy corner of the canyon.
