Modern day treehouse with its own guest residence lists in California. See it

Miami Herald04-06-2025
The idea of a treehouse may bring thoughts of childhood, when you hung out with friends in a makeshift wooden structure that only a selective few could enter.
Well, this isn't that.
Welcome to an adult's treehouse, which overlooks a popular neighborhood in Los Angeles — and is listed for $2.79 million.
'Modern architectural wonder with a guest house in a prime Silver Lake location!' the listing on Compass says. 'A renovation by Glen Bell, AIA, of DEX Studio landed this modern on Dwell magazine's 'Design Home Tour.' Collaborating with the architect were artists and landscape architects, who produced a high-style, hand-crafted — yet immensely livable — property.'
It's a mid-century modern treehouse, a news release calls it, complete with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a guest house with one bedroom, one bathroom.
'This particular home is a work of art. So many of the homes built in the last 20 years have been designed by builders who don't necessarily understand what it means to build specific to a site,' listing agent Victoria Massengale said in the release.
'To experience a home that has been built by an architect who considers how the light is going through the Brise-soleil and stained glass panels or how the breeze is going to move through the home is not only refreshing, but inspiring.'
Features, per the listing, include:
Amazing viewsDetached 2-car garagePatioWalk-in closet
'This property offers a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor experiences through Bell's understanding of light,' the release says — which is easy to see through the photos. The home is almost a paradox that allows light to seep through the halls, while also keeping it cool with the surrounding greenery.
The listing is held by Massengale and Michael Maguire at Compass.

One of the Last Southern California Homes Built by Joseph Eichler Lists for $1.7 Million

Midcentury-modern enthusiasts couldn't do much better than this Eichler home in Thousand Oaks, less than an hour from downtown Los Angeles. The 1964 abode was one of the last built in Southern California by renowned developer Joseph Eichler. It was designed by architect Claude Oakland, who, along with A. Quincy Jones and Frederick Emmons, completed the Thousand Oaks Eichlers, as the collection of residences in the neighborhood is known. The Oakland Eichler is hitting the market for $1.7 million, having had just two sets of owners since construction. Nina Kurtz at Compass holds the listing. More from Robb Report Belmond's Newest Luxury Sleeper Train Will Connect London to Wales This $13.5 Million Home in Ibiza Has Its Own Infinity Pool and Private Beach Access Ferrari Just Won Back Rights to the Name 'Testarossa' The four-bedroom, two-bath spreads over almost 2,000 square feet of living space. It's a textbook example of Eichler's aesthetic: An open floor plan curves around the central atrium, with post-and-beam construction and glass walls that invite the outdoors into just about every room in the house. The original concrete-slab foundation provides radiant heating, a feature that was ahead of its time in the mid-1960s. A recent paint job has wrapped the home in a custom olive-brown shade, with a statement red door and a mailbox to match. Inside, warm woods are prevalent in many of the entertaining spaces, including the updated kitchen, a wet bar, and the fireplace-anchored living room. The primary bathroom has been spruced up with new tile, while the secondary has kept its vintage tile and original tub. Out back, a classic patio wraps around the swimming pool, with several adjacent seating areas and room for a fire pit. The surrounding garden contains all sorts of fruit trees, including fig, olive, lemon, persimmon, and loquat. Design lovers have long clamored over the Eichler homes, which don't hit the market all too often. But now and again, one of the developer's properties does pop up for sale: A couple of months back, an updated abode in Marin County carried an $11.6 million price tag. That four-bedroom had undergone a beachy renovation, befitting of its locale on Belvedere Island. And even rarer, about a year ago Eichler's personal home in Silicon Valley listed for $6.4 million. Built in the 1950s, that property was custom-designed for Eichler and his wife, and it came to market for the first time in almost 60 of Robb Report The 10 Priciest Neighborhoods in America (And How They Got to Be That Way) In Pictures: Most Expensive Properties Click here to read the full article.
