About this property
Relax in a craftsman home nestled in the forest minutes from the city
Located in Travis Heights this custom-designed, sophisticated tree house retreat, surrounds you with wood details in a spacious unique home. Lush, green views from the windows look out onto the deck where a magnificent tree literally is intertwined around the deck. Truly unique, from the spalted pecan wood details to a guitar and piano.
The house was completely rebuilt by furniture maker Wolf Sitter and furnished by his artist photographer wife, Charlotte Bell. All ceilings, floors and trim are wood. The living area is spacious and comfortable.Gorgeous spalted pecan custom cabinets and a big center island make the large kitchen area a treat to the eye and easy to cook in.The master bedroom is large with a king size bed. Windows look out into the trees. There are two complete bathrooms.
This is a casual house that puts people at ease the moment they enter the front door and see all the wood and the fabulous tree filled back yard through large windows.
The location is ideal: 20 minutes from the airport, 5 minutes from the trendy SOCO and Rainy street districts, 15 minutes from the capital and the University of Texas. Even better, it is 3 blocks from the Hike and Bike trail. When you are in the house it feels like the country since it backs up to a wooded greenbelt. There is google fiber wifi and TV, whole house AC and heat.
It is nonsmoking and cat free. This house has a 5 day minimum. It is only available mid. June to late August.

Why they chose this property
The Tree house has everything you want when you stay in Austin. The location is nestled in the woods with a forest to the south and the west. We are in Travis Heights, SOCO, which is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Austin because of it's natural beauty, interesting homes and location within a short distance to the major areas of interest. We are only 3 blocks from the Hike and Bike Trail on Lady Bird Lake.
