Nature is truly inspiring, but this home is a total immersion into the trees. The beautiful green backdrop creates an otherworldly feeling within the family home. Lots of special touches were put into the house to accommodate its energetic young family, while retaining timeless elegance. The mudroom, with dedicated space for each family member, contains the chaos of inevitable in-and-out of neighbourhood play that is commonplace for quiet communities. While upstairs a large media room, with a kids’ space nestled into one of the front dormers, provides ample entertainment for rainier inside days. For the adults, a tranquil tree-top spa-bath soak seems like the perfect place to close the busy day. Many exceptional memories will be made in this home, and while every great design begins with an even better story, but just imagine the story the children who grow up here will tell about their childhood ‘tree house’...
