Nestled in one of Topanga Canyon's quieter pockets, this home offers an intimate connection to the surrounding canyon with views of Saddle Peak Ridge, where you can hear frogs in the creek and watch hawks soar overhead. Built by local builder Maurice Bourget and renovated in collaboration with architect John Jennings, the home spans three levels and is designed for easy indoor-outdoor living. The main level features a folding front entry and Fleetwood pocket doors that disappear completely, letting canyon breezes flow through the house and out onto the wrap-around balcony. The living room centers around a wood-burning fireplace, with windows framing the canyon on one side and the backyard hot tub on the other, while the kitchen is well-equipped with a six-burner chef's stove, wine cooler, walk-in pantry, RO and hot water tap. A guest bathroom on this level offers direct access to the backyard. Upstairs, skylights pour light into the hallway leading to three bedrooms. The primary suite looks out over the surrounding canyon with its own fireplace, en-suite bath, walk-in closet, and private balcony, a peaceful place to start and end the day. The second bedroom shares the balcony with the primary and has a charming view of the backyard, and the third bedroom has access to a deck leading out into the yard. Each room finds its own quiet connection to the landscape. The primary has its own en-suite bath, and a shared bathroom serves the second and third bedrooms. The ground level houses a theater room with projector and screen, and a full bath, equally suited as an office or guest suite, alongside an oversized garage with 20-foot ceilings. Outside, native landscaping surrounds a large brick patio with multiple seating areas connected by a walkway that winds through the backyard, with spots to sit, unwind, and take in the natural setting at every turn. The property comes with a 16-panel solar system, fully paid off. Just minutes from Old Topanga Canyon Road and about 15 minutes from Calabasas, this is a well-built, comfortable home in a beautiful part of the canyon, ready to be made your own.
