Unique Urban Treehouse Rental in Echo Park

Discover the epitome of modern living in the heart of Echo Park with this stunning rental offering. Perched atop a sloped site overlooking the picturesque hills and city skyline, the “Grafton House” offers a one-of-a-kind treehouse-like experience amidst the bustling city environment, blending the tranquility of a treehouse with the convenience of urban living. This stunning two-story residence, spanning 1,850 square feet, boasts 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a convertible office space, provides ample room for relaxation and hosting guests.

Clad in raw, oiled cedar, the exterior presents a contemporary yet natural aesthetic that stands out against the urban landscape. Designed by architect, Fredrik Nilsson, the design seamlessly blends Scandinavian modernism with the bohemian experimentalism of the LA Eastside, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Step inside to find a wood-clad space adorned with whitewashed poplar walls and rich textures, evoking a sense of cosiness and comfort. The reverse floor plan design places private areas on the ground floor, including spacious bedrooms with large windows overlooking the verdant garden. The upper level boasts an open-concept layout with ample natural light streaming in through picture and floor-to-ceiling windows inviting the outdoors into the space offering breathtaking views from every angle.
A recessed balcony off the kitchen provides a perfect spot for relaxation and entertaining, while sheltering you from the extreme Southern California solar gain. The rooftop terrace, with panoramic vistas stretching from Dodger Stadium to the Downtown L.A. skyline offers a BBQ and entertainment area to enjoy nightly sunsets.

Designed for modern living, the “Grafton House” features a mix of Scandinavian modernism and post-war modernism, with carefully curated details such as patterned tiles, potted plants, and sleek finishes throughout. The landscape, inspired by fragrance and sounds from the neighborhood, complements the architecture with a garden of native plants curated by landscape architect David Godshall of Terremoto.

Whether looking for a space for a short-term while finishing a remodel of your own home or are you looking for an inspiring space to finish your novel? Perhaps you just want a beautiful environment for a month to enjoy the vibrant Los Angeles city, this exclusive rental is only offered from mid-July through mid-August 2024.

Experience the best of indoor-outdoor living in this contemporary treehouse retreat, where the warmth of wood meets the vibrancy of city life. Don't miss your chance to make this unique urban oasis your retreat.
