“The Tree House” — A William Alesker Masterpiece. A rare opportunity to own a dramatic and deeply personal architectural work by William Alesker aptly named “The Tree House.” This extraordinary residence is quietly tucked into a serene enclave bordering the Curtis Dog Park and Curtis Arboretum — just a 12-minute walk away — offering privacy, nature, and timeless design in equal measure. Thoughtfully updated from top to bottom, this unique home features new baths, kitchen, roof, and updated mechanical systems, all executed with an architect’s precision and respect for the original vision. The architect even picked cypress for the exterior wood as it is termite resistant. The residence unfolds across 5 half-levels, each filled with natural light, woodland vistas, and warm beamed ceilings. The main living level is nothing short of breathtaking — a soaring two-story great room framed by dramatic windows that blur the boundary between indoors and forest. The open floor plan centers around a chef’s kitchen to envy — complete with granite counter tops, a cherry and maple work island, high-end appliances, and a bespoke dining table for eight designed by Alesker himself. A four-seat bar with built-in matching Sub-Zero refrigerator drawers completes the kitchen and makes for effortless entertaining or casual family meals. Each bedroom is a private retreat, two have a en-suite bath finished in natural stone and river rock, blending texture and tranquility. A versatile light filled upper-level studio — once the architect’s own workspace — offers endless potential as a family room, gym, art studio, or yoga sanctuary. A dramatic loft area overlooking the forest is perfect for curling up with a book . Multiple decks cascade through the rear landscape, creating a series of outdoor living spaces anchored by an outdoor fireplace and a whimsical chicken coop in the yard below. Off the kitchen, a screened gazebo overlooks a tranquil cascading pond — a perfect setting for al fresco dining , BBQ or quiet sunset evenings. Additional features include an on-site generator for peace of mind during storms, a storage shed, and a dedicated workshop with adjoining storage. Conveniently located just 1.5 miles from the Jenkintown/Wyncote train station, the property also offers easy access to Route 309 in under five minutes and is only fifteen minutes from Chestnut Hill. Architectural integrity, natural beauty, and refined comfort combine seamlessly in this truly one-of-a-kind residence. Children must be with an adult at all times while on the property.
