    What's special

    Welcome to the Wren Rock House, there really is no other property like it! This home embodies all that is Topanga! Designed with an eye to the unbelievable rock formations, this home stands in dialogue with the monoliths surrounding the site. Circa 1928, this property has a history and stories to tell. Sited on approximately 1.4 dynamic acres in prime Fernwood with spectacular and unobstructed cross canyon views, this Topanga retreat must be experienced. The 2BR + 1.5BA main house exudes vintage charm and a timeless rustic sophistication. The heart of the home is the river rock fireplace set against a backdrop of stunning boulders. Equally charming is the kitchen complete with an impressive range, butcher block counters and a custom built-in dining area accessible to the herb garden through a quaint Dutch door. True character is apparent in the spacious primary retreat featuring a vintage clawfoot bathtub open to the bedroom. Wake up to beautiful tree top views and birdsong from the private deck, simply so special and magical. Behind gates and up a private driveway, this storybook home offers privacy and serenity, ample parking, wonderful areas to gather and entertain, fruit trees, native plants and shrubs, incredible wildlife, a seasonal waterfall, an outdoor amphitheater, and a secret hideaway with walls of glass, heated floors and water feature. Additional APNs included (nine lots in total) with several flat areas with utilities on site, lots of potential here. For those seeking a unique and special living experience, Topanga is a gift and this enchanting home is full of heart and soul.
