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.”

“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.
