Property Description

Offer deadline Tuesday 4/22 by 6pm. Casa La Flor, Hacienda Heaven. Privacy, views, acreage, fruit trees, room for horses, all on a close in cul-de-sac. Here is the Topanga dream come true, in this classic, single story Hacienda, on nearly 2 acres. Bud and Anne bought this home in the early 70s, and lovingly created an art piece. Here, Topanga meets old Mexico, with hand-carved woodwork, classic Malibu Tile, vintage lighting, and French doors open wide to epic canyon vistas. Drive through handbuilt wood and iron gates, into the private parking court with mountain views. A stone arch with iron gate, leads into Anne's pride and joy, a private garden, brimming with succulents, flowers, artful stone paths, all built by skilled stone masons. Carved, double wood doors open into a welcoming great room, with a wide wall of windows overlooking the patios, and the morning sunrise. A stone fireplace with a woodstove insert makes for cozy mornings. Sit by the fire, and watch the fog roll in as hawks circle above. Every part of this home shows the artisan's touch. Inlaid oak floor boards in intricate patterns, stained glass, a handbuilt bar. Step out of French doors from nearly every room, into scented gardens filled with flitting birds. Dine with the doors flung open to patios set against meadows and an oak grove. The eat-in country kitchen is awash in colorful tiles and sunlight. Relax in the primary suite with its trio of vintage arched windows, a deep walk-in closet, and a colorful bath with a bay window. A second bedroom has a dreamy bay window seat, perfect for reading or daydreaming. The third bedroom has been reimagined as a classic western den with a handbuilt wet bar! You can make it into a bedroom again. The second bath is a riot of handmade tiles, with a bath set in a bay window. Outside, wide expanses of hand-laid brick and Saltillo patios are buttressed by stone columns and graced with stone and tile fountains. A brick and tile barbecue and fireplace sit close by the dining room. Steps lead past a shady patio on the hill, to an arched gazebo, with windows out to spectacular views, the best perch for morning tea, or to sit and watch the sun sink over the mountains. Covered porches shelter work areas and lounging spots. The separate garage is a hobbyist's dream of beautiful cabinets, and organized wall storage. There are steps down the back of the yard to a carport. The old corral where the family pony used to roam, sits in the oak graced meadow. There is room to add a pool or a guest house, to lure friends and family! Perhaps expand the house. The nearly 2 acre lot to the south of the house is co-owned with neighbors. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, and a stone's throw to Summit Park, where both bikes and dogs are welcomed. The valley and coast are a quick drive away. Restaurants, cafes, charming shops and galleries are close by. This home has been lovingly cared for and enhanced by Bud and Anne for decades. Now Casa La Flor could be your piece of heaven.
