Step through your back door into Edelman Park and the greater Topanga State Park network connecting seamlessly to over 100 miles of renowned hiking, running, and equestrian trails. The sun-filled three-bedroom, two-bath main cottage radiates rustic canyon warmth with classic wood floors and flexible living spaces. A generous deck extends this space into the surrounding landscape, while the spacious front yard offers endless possibilities to create your dream garden or outdoor retreat. Perfect for artists, writers, or multi-generational living, the property also includes two independent detached accessory structures - creating a unique, highly versatile compound layout for visionaries, investors, or those seeking an inspiring live/work retreat, these bonus spaces provide exceptional flexibility.
