Property Description

Own a Topanga Landmark. At the far end of the Historic Bonnell Park, a storied Cape Cod home is set in lush, verdant, meadows, framed by towering oaks, cottonwood, maple, and ash trees. With the park serving as a de facto front yard, the white house with inky black shutters sits on a vast flower-framed lawn, beckoning as if from a dream. Set at the end of the Bonnell Cul de sac, this cherished home harkens to farm country, sitting on over 1 1/3 acre of flat lawns, orchards, and gardens. Strawberry peak and Little Rock, two local icons, serve as a backdrop to this home. The history of Topanga is told here. The home was once part of the original John Bonnell estate which includes "The Old Stone House," considered the oldest house in Topanga, built by Jack Wood, a pioneer stage and Post Office mail driver. It has been owned by just 2 families over the past 70 years, and was reimagined by Topanga's renowned architect, Cary Gepner, into the graceful sanctuary it is today. The brief was to seamlessly meld the indoors and out, so every room took in the beauty of the incredible grounds. He delivered. Rooms flooded with abundant natural light, through 5 sets of French doors, encompass the perfect flow for celebrations, or quiet enjoyment. Visitors to the park often exclaim it is the "Most beautiful home in Topanga!" Now is your chance to own this lyrical property, with its oversized pool and spa, fruit trees, and gardens, all set along the banks of Old Topanga Creek. Over the years, this home has been cast as an East Coast home in movies and tv shows, because it calls nostalgically to us of simpler times. But the interiors are updated with serenely minimal rooms perfect for modern country living. Bare feet pad across polished old oak floors. The front foyer opens to a gracious, soaring, two story living room, with a classic fireplace. A wall of French doors looks out from the living room and spacious dining room to where deer meander, and hawks float on updrafts. The inviting open kitchen, with its vast island, hosts a crowd. Doors flung open to the huge patio, pool and spa, allow for that quintessential California indoor-outdoor life! The spacious primary suite opens to the pool through French doors. Its bright bath, with a steam shower, vintage fixtures, and a clawfoot tub opens to a poolside shower. Two other bedrooms with sun-splashed windows sit on the main level. A captivating suite of rooms under the eaves include an antechamber under automatic, venting skyl
