    What's special

    Welcome to Koontz Way, a beautifully renovated canyon retreat where timeless Topanga character meets thoughtful modern design. Tucked behind historic stone walls and a charming gate covered in bougainvillea, at the end of a quiet road, this inviting sanctuary offers exceptional privacy, top of the line craftsmanship, and direct backyard access to some of Topanga's most beloved hiking trails. From the moment you pass through the gate, you're welcomed by the unmistakable tranquility that has drawn artists, musicians, and nature lovers to Topanga for generations. Inside, the open-concept living spaces are centered around a striking Topanga river rock fireplace, complemented by new herringbone white oak floors and custom cabinetry that brings warmth and artisan detail throughout. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the living and dining areas, creating an inviting space for everyday living and relaxed entertaining. Two sun-filled bedrooms with French doors opening to the back yard, invite the outdoors in, while the beautifully renovated bathroom features designer tile, premium fixtures, and spa-inspired finishes. Above, a rooftop deck provides the perfect perch for morning coffee, golden-hour canyon views, and unforgettable stargazing beneath Topanga's dark skies. A detached studio offers exceptional flexibility as a home office, artist's studio, guest retreat, wellness space, or private third bedroom. The grounds have been thoughtfully reimagined with lush, drought-tolerant landscaping that complements the natural beauty of the canyon while creating multiple outdoor spaces for gathering, relaxing, and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. A new roof, new electric gate, and extensive upgrades throughout make the home completely turnkey. Currently operating as a successful short-term rental, with ample parking, the property also offers excellent income potential for those seeking an investment opportunity or a home that can help support its own ownership. Perfectly positioned between the 101 and Pacific Coast Highway, you're only about 20 minutes from the beach, yet feel worlds away in one of Southern California's most enchanting canyon communities. This is Topanga at its finest: authentic, soulful, and ready to welcome its next steward.
