Personal thoughts from within the Luxury Real Estate network
By Kimberly Fulwyler
When I was little, my brother and I would spend a good amount of time building tree houses and forts outside. These tree houses came with secret code words and special knocks. On the visual side, my tree houses were made of love, imagination, and not much else. In today’s luxury housing market, tree houses are becoming a popular new home addition that’s appealing to both adults and children.
Designers are creating and building tree houses above and beyond what I could have imagined at the age of seven. Gone are the days of jutting nails and unstable floor boards. Tree houses today are built as luxury add-ons that will add value to a home. The new generation of tree houses are being used in a multitude of ways: home offices, guest rooms, and of course, a children’s tree house that can rival Cinderella’s castle at Disneyland.
I don’t think anyone has captured this trend as well as the Swiss Family Robinson when they said, “The world is full of nice, ordinary little people who live in nice, ordinary little houses on the ground. But didn't you ever dream of a house up on a treetop?”
