A true original, this handcrafted residence is a seamless blend of Bauhaus-inspired modernism and rustic elegance. Nestled within a secluded grove of Japanese Maples and sheltered by towering bald cypress, the home lives within its own natural ecosystem—quiet, vibrant, and entirely its own. As you wander down the gravel footpath, the gentle sound of water draws you closer. A quaint footbridge spans Ash Creek and the transformation begins. Step through the French doors and you’re welcomed by a sculptural spiral staircase, its graceful form illuminated by natural light streaming through a skylight above. Throughout the home, storied details lend character and soul—doorways and windows are framed in weathered grey wood salvaged from SMU’s historic bleachers, while other reclaimed touches, like kitchen hardware fashioned from an old mail chute and shiplapped walls, layer in history and warmth. The dining room centers around a cozy wood-burning fireplace, with doors that open onto a porch—perfect for spring days when birdsong and the babble of the brook drift in on the breeze. In the living room, floor-to-ceiling windows blur the line between indoors and out. A corner Kiva fireplace and a natural stone wall catch the shifting dappled light as it filters through the trees, creating a space that feels both grounded and alive. The primary bedroom is a true retreat, featuring reclaimed sinks and unlacquered brass fixtures that will age gracefully over time. Expansive garden views offer a peaceful, ever-evolving connection to the natural world just beyond. Perched above the living room, the second bedroom offers a treehouse view—overlooking the garden canopy. Tucked away in the heart of Little Forest Hills, The Treehouse is more than a home. It’s a sanctuary. A place apart. A moment suspended in time.
