On The Market: Two Mid-Century Tree Houses

472

4086 Egbert Avenue, Clifton, $599,000

If you’re going to build a rambling 4,400 square-foot house in the middle of the woods, why not just do one better and slap on some stilts? That’s what famed architect Carl Strauss did when he designed this one-of-a-kind home on top of a Clifton hillside. Wall-sized windows, walk-out terraces, and covered walkways show off everything from the interior courtyard to the surrounding woods to the actual treetops. And inside, four bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, huge expanses of open space, a spiral staircase, and fireplaces make the home fantastically liveable. It’s just 15 minutes to downtown, but you might never want to leave.
