20711 Hillside Drive

Presenting 'Hillside Retreat' a Mid Century Modern Architectural Compound perched above the clouds adjacent to Topanga State Park. Your gated 1 1/2 acres comes fully remodeled with exquisite soulful finishes and every amenity needed for a luxurious sanctuary. Reminiscent of the visionary architects Barragan and Legorreta, the home shows a bold new face to the world, and million dollar, southern facing views. A new ADU perches even higher above the clouds, with a sensuous full bath outfitted in brass fixtures, Roman Clay walls, all wrapped in a commanding deck overlooking the world below. The new pool and spa include a built-in bbq, dining deck, fire pit and a perched pergola so the summer days are as long as the views are vast. Slate floors lead to loft-like interiors with soaring 24' ceilings, expansive views from every room, bathed in sunlight; capped with clear cedar ceilings. Designer lighting elevates the home. Every way you turn, the wilderness beckons. Step down into a huge sunken living room, with a warming fireplace, and walls of glass, with doors leading out to peaceful gardens. Mountain views, like massive art installations, distract you from your day-to-day life. This is a house made for art, with bold spaces, dreamy lighting, and wide walls to fill. Curved patios and decks create a sense of harmony and welcome. Custom white oak millwork fills the wide kitchen. A honed granite island, Viking appliances, a custom burnished brass range hood, and Waterworks fixtures all open to an adjoining second living space that's perfect for smaller gatherings. Step out to a curved balcony, which overlooks the entire canyon, perfect for alfresco dining. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms with wide Oak floors lead to a shared deck centered on the views. A bright new bath with double sinks, Navona Creme Travertine Counters, and handmade clay tiles, sits nearby. Roman Clay wall finishes grace all the baths. At the top of the house on its own, private level, the huge primary suite's wide wall of glass opens to it's own secluded deck. Floor to ceiling custom Travertine slabs envelop you, as you sink into the soaking tub, or step into the double shower and heady views soothe your body and spirit. A double-height garage elegantly remodeled with a wall of cabinetry, glistening epoxy floors, and sleek lighting could easily double as a studio, party room, or gym. An automatic Generac back up generator, fire hydrants, interior and roof sprinklers, and a 9000 gallon reserve water tank, bring peace of mind. Meditative garden paths, dotted with olive trees lead out the back gate, into the park, and directly onto the trails to Eagle Rock, Trippet Ranch, and the Backbone Trail. A gated play yard with turf welcomes games or pups. Ample outdoor private parking that can accommodate up to 12 cars means you can welcome a crowd. The monumental presence of this house is inspiring. But it's the tucked away canyon setting that truly sets this home apart. The sunsets are transcendent. The silence is a living, breathing presence. The mid-canyon location lets you slip to the beach, the Topanga Village, or the Calabasas Farmers' Market in minutes. Create an artful life here, under the sheltering sky.
