More Insights

Built in 1987 (39 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1987, this property has clearly undergone an extensive, high-quality renovation very recently. The kitchen features sleek, modern cabinetry, high-end stainless steel appliances (including a professional-grade range), and contemporary finishes. Bathrooms are equally modern with minimalist designs, wall-mounted fixtures, and a freestanding soaking tub. Hardwood flooring throughout appears new, and the 'sculptural staircase' is a striking, modern architectural element. All visible components are virtually new, meeting current quality standards, indicating a recent and thorough update.

About this home

Cereza is an architecturally distinctive Topanga retreat and a true creative sanctuary. Blending rustic nature and design minimalism, the home is filled with shifting natural light from morning through dusk, creating a warm, organic atmosphere throughout. Offering breathtaking, unobstructed views, this pristine 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence is a rare opportunity to live on the coveted ridgeline that merges Topanga's creative spirit with the modern luxury of Calabasas. A sculptural staircase anchors the home, serving as a striking architectural moment that defines the space. The upper level features a chef's kitchen with outdoor counter seating that opens seamlessly to an airy living room and dual panoramic balconies. A private one-bedroom suite on this level includes a retro fireplace and sweeping views that make sunrise and sunset their own unique ritual. Downstairs, a second suite and two additional bedrooms connect directly to an expansive deck surrounded by lush landscaping and a tranquil Japanese soaking tub. Multiple outdoor lounge areas are positioned to take full advantage of the canyon setting ideal for entertaining, reflecting, or simply being present in nature. A detached cabin studio provides additional privacy and flexibility, complete with a built-in work area and loft bed for a guest. A dedicated yoga platform and suspension net allow you to float amongst the oaks, creating calm and connection with nature. Completing the property, a two-car garage currently serving as a ceramic studio and Hi-Fi movie lounge with adjoining gym adds versatility to this thoughtfully designed residence. Where design, nature, and intention converge. Welcome to Cereza.

Age of Property & Potential System Updates: Built in 1987, the property, while architecturally distinctive, may have original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that could require future maintenance or upgrades not explicitly mentioned.
Lack of Specified Cooling System: The description highlights natural light and organic atmosphere but does not mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant consideration for comfort during warmer months in Southern California.
Niche Market Appeal / Secluded Location: While a strength for some, the property's 'Topanga retreat' nature and ridgeline location might appeal to a more specific buyer demographic seeking seclusion and nature, potentially limiting broader market appeal.
