This quintessential Topanga cabin was built in 1925, and is rich with canyon charm. The expansive deck overlooks Topanga State Park, and is perfect for entertaining or relaxing in solitude. A handcrafted pergola shades you and your guests during the day, but provides unobstructed views of the canyon, while setting the scene for a magical show each night as the sun sets. While retaining its charm and character, the home has been updated to today's standards, including an open concept kitchen w/ butcher block counters, remodeled bathroom with tub/shower combo and indoor laundry. Craftsmanship shows with the hand-built 10x12 shop/storage shed that may double as a yoga/art studio. With hardwood flooring throughout, and high ceilings in the living room and kitchen, this home feels inviting and homey. Hiking and biking trails are accessible directly out your front door. Conveinetly located both 10 minutes to the beach and valley shops. If you're looking for a retreat this is it!
