Topanga, CA 90290 21956 Cereza Way

Mid-Century Sanctuary with Guest House, and Studio Apartment. Tucked away in the poetic hills of Topanga, where the scent of sagebrush mingles with coastal air and the canyon light shifts like watercolor, this mid-century retreat rises from the earth like sculpture. Built in the 80s by a Topanga Family of master builders, this home has the soul of a 1960s architectural, with towering walls of glass, but is built with modern building methods and amenities that live more fully in our present. Set across 6 lots totaling more than half an acre of pure California dreaming, this is not merely a home, but a dream made real. Framed in clean, modernist lines and softened by warm woods and welcoming landscaping, the main residence offers three bedrooms and two baths, with interiors that channel the understated elegance of a bygone era. Vaulted ceilings open skyward, while walls of glass dissolve the boundary between indoors and the wild beyond, inviting the Santa Monica Mountains in like an old friend. A sunken living room anchors the space with quiet drama, its hardwood floors catching golden light, while a fireplace hums softly against the cool hush of canyon evenings. The sleekly updated kitchen gleams with high end stainless appliances, huge windows, stone counters, and cabinetry that soars up to the 14 ft ceilings. The primary suite is a private escape, complete with a dreamy, custom, walnut, walk-in closet with a view, private viewing deck, and a spa-like bath where a glass-wrapped shower overlooks the green hills of the nearby state parka tableau, framed in stillness and sky. The living room flows onto a huge deck, set in the wide vistas. Steps lead to paths meandering through native landscaping and terraced gardens that create a sanctuary for the senses. A gorgeous, built in, Charbroil outdoor kitchen nestles under an arbor, perfect for grilling up a celebration! Dine beneath a canopy of oaks, sip wine beneath the stars around the gas fire pit, or soak in the hot tub while hawks wheel overhead. Here, every detail whispers of retreat and ritual. Two thoughtfully appointed guest units, a charming detached cabin at the top of the property, with loft, kitchenette, bath, and deck; and a second large studio apartment, with private entry, kitchen, and bath, offer room for reflection, creation, or connection. Set along a private drive just moments from the vibrancy of the center of Topanga, with its restaurants, galleries, yoga studios, and charming shops, in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by trails, this graceful home is close to Malibu, the Valley, and all that LA has to offer. This is a home for artists, dreamers, and seekers of beauty. A place where architecture meets wilderness in elegant accord, and where every sunrise feels like a new beginning. This is a Topanga Miracle, refined, rare, and waiting for you.
