A striking architectural by Simon Storey of Anonymous Architects, the "House in Trees" is a one-of-a-kind residence that embodies Echo Park's creative spirit. Designed around a massive tree that rises through the center of the home, this 3BD/2BA, retreat offers the rare experience of modern design in harmony with nature.Set on a steep hillside among towering cedars, the minimalist form cantilevers over the slope with reclaimed cedar siding, and an undulating roofline that mirrors the terrain. Inside, expansive retractable glass walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, and wood-clad breezeways fill the spaces with natural light and canyon views. Custom details include reclaimed chestnut floors, a handcrafted bookshelf staircase to a lofted play space, and vintage hand-blown lighting.The chef's kitchen features handmade tile, warm wood cabinetry, and premium appliances, opening seamlessly to indoor/outdoor living areas. The primary suite is a sanctuary with a sunken soaking tub, steam shower, and serene canyon outlooks. Two levels of cantilevered decks extend the living experience into the treetops, perfect for entertaining or quiet reflection.Sustainable touches include a solar hot water heater and an EV charger in the garage. Located moments from the best of Echo Park yet secluded among the trees, this home offers a grown-up treehouse lifestyle rarely available for lease.
