A magical, leafy perch in Topanga, CA, is ready to charm its next owner. The modern, light-filled residence seems to spring from a beautiful oak grove, nestled in the mountains.
This place indulges every child’s treehouse fantasy and provides the type of rarefied, contemporary luxury that adults desire.
On the market for $2.5 million, the three-bedroom, 1,556-square-foot home sits on 1.17 acres.

Old meets new, beautifully
“The property was built by the current owners in 1992, with top-of-the-line appliances, hand-distressed cabinetry, handmade tiles by Emu, soapstone kitchen counters, an Italian limestone sink and built-in everything,” says listing agent Chryssa Lightheart, of Sotheby’s International Realty – Topanga Brokerage. “It’s solidly designed with many vintage touches.”
The chef’s kitchen is a home cook’s dream, with its stainless steel appliances and vintage Holophane fixtures. An adjacent dining room features pocket doors from an 1890 Ohio estate sale, while vintage porcelain fixtures are found in the powder room.
An upstairs bathroom offers a spa-inspired retreat with a double sink, custom walnut details, and a large bath.
The warm living room fuses indoor and outdoor living, with stunning views of the mountains and oak groves. The space also offers a cozy fireplace. Owls, deer, rabbits, hawks, and frogs are frequent visitors, Lightheart notes.
However, the home’s most interesting feature is probably the 480-square-foot Foley stage recording studio built by renowned engineer Charles Pell.
The home is ideal for “artists, musicians, writers, and other creatives,” Lightheart says, adding that the property also includes a “lovingly restored” guesthouse—originally a barn from the 1920s.
An oversized garage boasts built-ins and a converted workout area. Entertainers will appreciate the Ipe deck, AOG BBQ, and outdoor fireplace with built-in seating. A whole-house propane generator and newly minted roof complete the picture of modern convenience and historic sophistication.
On the market for the first time, the home is just minutes from city amenities, the Calabasas Tennis & Swim Center, the Commons shopping complex, the Las Virgenes school district, Wild Walnut dog park, and a state park trail.
