If you were to dream up a perfect home located in the hills of Southern California, this Topanga home for sale would be it. The expertly crafted home sits on 2.4+ acres of private land with vistas that stretch for miles. The floor-to-ceiling, glass windows and open-concept layout prioritize the view, making every room an idyllic spot to take in the Topanga Canyon landscape.

This welcoming Brentwood home was listed and sold by The Agency to basketball Allstar Blake Griffin. The home designed by architect John Andrews, is a masterful blend of glass, steel, and wood. The floor to ceiling glass walls are perfectly positioned to maximize views of the surrounding nature. Encompassing two flat home sites totaling nearly an acre, the 13,386-square-foot residence sets a dramatic tone from the moment of arrival. The property sold off market, so details of the home remain unseen by the public. The property does make a quick appearance in a commercial for Stella Artois beer, where the audience catches a quick peek into the Brentwood compound.
