Property Detail
Description
After 25 years of dedicated ownership, this exceptional property is ready for its next chapter. Raven's Nest is an iconic 1970 California A-frame on one of upper Fernwood's most architecturally distinctive ridges, that traces the evolution of Topanga residential architecture: a 1930 canyon cottage, two works of Organic Modernism by W. Earl Wear, and this 1970 A-frame, a distinctly California expression of exposed structure, glass, light, and landscape. Longtime home to an award-winning director and writer, the house is defined by floor-to-ceiling glass and sweeping views, its black exterior receding into mature pines. Inside, the full triangular volume opens through soaring ceilings, exposed beams, white surfaces, natural wood, and two dramatic glass walls framing canyon and treetop views, with a sculptural Danish wood stove at the center. Living, dining, and the original kitchen open onto broad decks built around two living pines. Three bedrooms and two baths unfold across a multilevel plan, restrained and remarkably intact. Terraced grounds, mature planting, double carport, and scope for a thoughtful architectural intervention, subject to approvals. Minutes to the village, trails, Malibu, and the Pacific.
