The story
- Pool
Privately tucked beyond the signature Taj Mahal stone arch in Topanga's coveted PO Tract, this classic single-story mid-century home, designed by architect Ralph Miller, offers a distinctive blend of privacy, architectural character, and possibility. Set on just over three-quarters of an acre with mountain views and Topanga State Park as your neighbor, the peaceful setting invites you to slow down, unwind, and enjoy the serenity of canyon living. The home features four bedrooms, two beautifully remodeled bathrooms, and a thoughtfully designed floor plan that lends itself to both everyday living and entertaining. The interiors unfold with the warmth of the home's original rich wood paneling, leading into a light-filled living room where dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows blur the line between indoors and out. A two-sided fireplace anchors the living space while extending into the dining or sitting area that connects to the breakfast nook and kitchen. Down the sunlit hallway, you'll find four bedrooms, two of which are separated by a charming wood accordion partition, offering the versatility of two individual bedrooms or one large space. The primary bedroom, tucked at the end of the hall, opens to the backyard through sliding glass doors. Outside, multiple flat and usable areas offer opportunities to create lush gardens, outdoor entertaining spaces, or explore the potential for future expansion. The property also includes a pool ready to be restored and refurbished, adding to this private backyard retreat. For those drawn to original mid-century character, timeless architectural lines, and an exceptional setting, this home provides a compelling foundation for thoughtful updates and reimagining. This property offers a blank canvas to bring your own vision to life while preserving its architectural charm and making it truly your own. Located just moments from hiking trails, Topanga State Park, and the heart of the canyon, this is a rare opportunity to breathe new life into an architect-designed home in one of Topanga's most beloved neighborhoods.
