With each step you take into this darling jewel-box home, serenely set in the desirable "climate perfect" Fernwood neighborhood of Topanga, the more you feel a weight lifted and the world left behind. Benefitting from an extensive 2020 renovation, this private pied-a-terre boasts tasteful finishes, a reclaimed flex space currently used as a home office, and a full suite of modern amenities. The present owners took that renovation as a starting point, then spared no expense elevating the home to its present standard, adding a proper laundry area with ample storage, a storybook-perfect deck ideal for alfresco dining beneath the glowing tea lights, and a DG walkway framed by verdant, native landscaping. This all leads to a mature California bay tree providing both the perfect amount of shade and dappled sunlight for you to curl up with your favorite summer novel, feel the breeze, and listen to the birdsong. The biggest value-add of all is the stand-alone recording studio, built to exacting standards, wired with lights and electricity, and set on a substantial concrete foundation. Purpose built, but also perfect as a satellite work station, art studio, or additional space to accommodate guests who come to visit and can't bear to leave. Both the primary bedroom and main living areas benefit from sliding glass doors that invite you onto the decks and into the gardens, to revel in the famed SoCal indoor-outdoor lifestyle. All this, and you're 5 minutes from the shops and cafes of downtown Topanga but never more than 20 minutes from the beach.
