[Property has a violation recorded against title with County and may not qualify for a loan. Buyers are advised to perform their own due diligence and consult with their lender.] Right off the boulevard, yet still a sanctuary that feels miles away from it all! When the automatic gates of this multi-use property open, you're ushered into a grand courtyard under the canopy of a native heritage oak grove. A sturdy bamboo fence encircles the full 1.49 acres, providing total privacy and security. A free-standing office space/storefront, once the convenient site of a local pet store, greets you upon arrival. A guest house accessed via a second automatic gate is just behind. Past the original water catchment cistern, now artfully painted by a local muralist, you enter the main 2 bed, 1.5 bath home. The heart of the home has been reimagined as a great room with a wide kitchen island fit for casual meals, plenty of space for formal dining, and cozy corners for homework, cuddling by the brick fireplace, or lounging in front of the bay window while taking in the treetop views. The kitchen has been remodeled with new granite countertops, updated appliances, and richly hued wood floors. Two tidy bedrooms are anchored by a full bath with a custom Topanga Art Tile backsplash. The tall French doors from the great room lead you to the roughly 1200 sq. ft. deck where the scale of things truly comes into focus. There's a hot tub, outdoor shower, and an attached second rental/guest unit with the same tasteful finishes as the main home. There's a basketball court, a mini driving range and putting green, multiple patios, and enough sunny flat land to satisfy the most avid gardener's green thumb. A roughly 1100 sq. ft. master suite addition to the main house has been cited by the county and left unfinished, but promises to be a luxurious expansion to this trophy property when completed. Seller has spent years working with local contractors, engineers, biologists, and permit expeditors to have the violation rescinded and is finally nearing the end of the arduous process. Be the lucky buyer who gets to complete the vision and take 1231 N Topanga Canyon Blvd to the next level!
