This one is just outside the town of Woodstock, less than two hours from New York City, and is a world away. It sits in dense woods, at the edge of a pond, and looks out over the Catskills. Inside, it’s tiny, but open, with views everywhere. It’s an open plan lounge with a wall of glass on one end, and a kitchen at the back. Behind the kitchen, is a separate shower room, bathroom, and a bedroom at the rear which could easily become an office studio space, while a loft bedroom upstairs overlooks the main floor with windows on either side into the woods The treehouse has two balconies on either side of the main floor, and a large terrace underneath that leads down to the water and hot tub. It’s the perfect getaway. |

Now, a tree house is where all that wood belongs! I love this (probably because I like camping). I'd need to sleep on the couch because that loft ceiling feels too low, but that may just be the camera angle. Love it to pieces!
ReplyDeleteDo I misunderstand what the term "tree house" means? To me this is a house in the trees, not a house built in a tree or trees.
ReplyDeleteI really like that
ReplyDeleteBeautifully simple but I would have preferred a proper staircase up to the mezzanine floor not just a ladder.
ReplyDeleteLoverly setting but is that
ReplyDeleteladder even legal? Us older
ladies who have midnight potty
trips would not do well!!

I think the loft ceiling is low over the head of the bed, so it wouldn’t bother me too much!
@Ken
A house IN the trees??
@Adam
I usually get a little claustrophobic at the small houses, but this one has enough glass to make it feel open.
@Yorkshire
I hadn’t noticed that it was just a ladder to the loft. I’d need some proper stairs, too!
@TDM
I know I’d tumble down that ladder at least once a day!

LOVE!
ReplyDeleteUnconditionally, of course, because it's in the middle of the woods and I am not fond of people right now.
Love the plan and that loft bedroom and even the kitchen. And I don't even cook!
XOXO
Put in a real kitchen, and use the upstairs as a studio and I could make that work
ReplyDeleteI too love this and Im right there with Sixpence and Deedles for the same reasons...and I have always wanted to live in a treehouse.
ReplyDeleteI am 100% on board with this one. What a wonderful, economical place. I love the location. I love all the wood. I love the light. And I love it's compactness. I would love to write there. It just needs a piano.

ReplyDeleteI also get the “get away from people” vibe, but you’d have to cook as I think take-out or delivery might not be an option!

@Travel
I’m not sure there’s room for a real kitchen, but I love the idea of the studio loft space!
@Maddie
The views alone sold me on this one, too!
@upton
I could live minimally, but I do think even I might have to rid myself of some stuff I’d want to keep.
I adore treehouses! This is a beauty. There was a show I watched briefly about a treehouse builder. His work was exceptional. His personality drove me up a wall and the canned problems and conversations made me nuts. But oh the treehouses!

ReplyDeleteI love the smallness of this one, and yet the openness with all the glass.
Love it! I always appreciate a house that's small but innovative.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome. Holy cannoli I might need to put that on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing, Bob.
