Stern & Gachman List Modern Treehouse Inspired by LA’s Case Study Project

There’s an old saying that “people who live in glass houses should not throw stones.” And generally we’d agree. But in the case of 715 Kessler Woods Trail at least, the people that buy this house should definitely consider throwing other things. Like dinner parties and cookouts and book club nights… 

Why wouldn’t you when you live in a treehouse in an exclusive 28-home gated community adjacent to the Twelve Hills Nature Preserve? Now it might seem exhausting to think of entertaining all the time, but then one look at those restorative views and – BAM! – you’re ready to go another round. It’s almost kind of selfish NOT to entertain all the time, don’t you think?

While you’re mentally calculating just how many gatherings it’s realistic to have in one 48-hr. weekend and how many square feet each guest can be allotted to maximize space, let’s get to know this new three-bedroom, 3.5-bath listing from Megan Stern and Susan Gachman priced at $1,390,000.

“If you look up the Case Study Homes of Los Angeles, built in the ‘40s and ‘50s,” Stern says, “you can definitely see where the influence came from. It’s one of the finest designs in Kessler Woods, which is Dallas’ premier modernist neighborhood. What makes it even more phenomenal, is the house is shaded by old growth cedars and tucked into the hillside.”

The stunning finish out of the 2,776-square-foot home includes walnut finishes throughout, diamond polished concrete floors, a Bocci fixture, stainless steel appliances and more. On a more practical note, the roof is new as is the HVAC. 

“This 2007 architectural gem designed by Doug Hildinger was fully renovated in 2020,” Gachman says. “It’s surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass windows and sliding doors, which open up to the wrap-around deck with fountain and the zen-like rooftop terrace with fire pit and Mexican beach pebbles. It’s truly an everyday getaway.”

We wouldn’t tarry too long with this one. We can see someone buying it sight unseen. With all that glass and unspoiled nature, really what is there to see?
