Description

Live out your Mad Men fantasies in this Mid-Century gem, set back from the road in a coastal oak grove, on 1.68 acres near Red Rock Park. The single-level main residence has three bedrooms and three full baths. Dappled light filters through the oak canopy and multiple skylights to play warmly across the open living areas, revealing hallmarks of the home's 1963 origin: mitered windows perfectly framing the heritage oaks, warm wood tones, exposed beams, and seamless flow and sight lines from the shaded brick patio all through the skylighted living and dining rooms, kitchen, and family room. Thoroughly and thoughtfully remodeled by devoted cooks in the 1980s, the kitchen is a true entertainment hub, featuring a large island with an extra prep sink and end grain chopping blocks, an induction cooktop and separate gas burner, two ovens, ample storage, and greenhouse windows to grow your own herbs. The bedrooms are generously sized, with large closets. The main home has been extensively updated with a new roof, new furnace and air conditioner, new double-paned windows and individually thermostated heaters in the bedrooms, new interior doors and hardware, a new water heater, new wool carpets, and newly refinished oak floors. On a separate flat area above the main house is an 800 square foot, one-bedroom guest house, solidly built in 2006. Perfect for a satellite work space, extra housing for a parent or child care provider, or as a welcoming space for visiting friends and family, it has high ceilings, bamboo flooring, a full kitchen and bath, dedicated parking area, and usable, flat, outdoor space. In addition to the patios shaded by the oaks, this spacious land includes sunny flat spaces suitable for gardens, a former horse corral site, and an additional undeveloped hilltop area with cross canyon views. Available for the first time since 1978, this special property provides all the benefits of Topanga living, in a private and peaceful setting, along with authentic Mid-Century design that has been built, maintained, and lovingly restored to a level rarely seen in the canyon.
