Description

Don't miss this unexpected ''tree house'', which offers complete privacy and views of the city, ocean, and Anacapa Island. Perhaps the most notable architectural element is the two-story ''floating'' hexagon tower that is hoisted up by steel supporting beams. Ideal for a den, office or guest bedroom. Upstairs, the open kitchen flows into the lofted dining area with fireplace. Master bedroom includes ensuite bathroom and private deck. On the lower level, the living room features floor-to-ceiling windows,...Don't miss this unexpected ''tree house'', which offers complete privacy and views of the city, ocean, and Anacapa Island.
