$1,780,000

Tucked high among the trees of Crestwood, where the city exhales into the arms of Rock Creek Park, stands a home that seems less built than grown - anchored by roots of intention and lifted by the quiet ambition of design. Crafted by HxH Architects and shaped tenderly by those… Read More who lived within its walls, this contemporary treehouse is a study in light, space, and stillness. Three bedrooms and three full baths are not simply rooms here, but chapters - each with its own story etched into custom wall panels and carefully chosen wallpaper, textures that whisper of artistry and care. The primary suite offers a restful perch, nestled in the branches, where morning spills in through generous windows and the hush of leaves becomes part of the de9;cor. The kitchen - bright and open, with a chef's eye for function - invites slow mornings and shared meals. Stainless steel appliances gleam without boast; a gas stove hums with readiness. An island anchors the room in practicality, while windows catch the slant of sun as it moves, hour by hour, through the day. Hardwood floors stretch across the home like a well-worn trail, guiding from room to room under high ceilings and recessed light. There is a fireplace, waiting patiently for winter's return, and bathrooms rendered in ceramic and tile, modern yet softened by natural light and the practicality of a double sink where morning routines unfold. Step outside, and the world quiets. A landscaped backyard unfurls into a private sanctuary - a hammock strung like punctuation between two trees, a fire pit that draws stories from friends, laughter from flames. Beyond the patio, a hidden gate opens like a secret into Rock Creek Park, where nature keeps its own kind of time. The lower level has been expanded to welcome life in all its fullness, with a thoughtful redesign and easy access to the attached two-car garage. Every system - central air, heating, washer, dryer - runs with the quiet efficiency of something well-loved and well-maintained. Nothing here is more than 8 years old, though the feeling is timeless. This is not merely a house, but a place with pulse and rhythm, built for those who crave a quieter kind of luxury - modern comfort folded into the curve of the land, with both city and wilderness within reach. A front yard, a backyard, and something harder to describe: a sense of having arrived exactly where you belong. Read Less
