Some homes are built. Others are crafted. And on 39th Street — just north of Adams Ave — sits one of Normal Heights’ most special canyon-side residences, designed to feel like a modern treehouse suspended above nature. Step through the front door and you’re welcomed into soaring 11-foot ceilings, a warm fireplace, and Anderson Low-E windows and doors that frame the canyon like living artwork. Every detail was chosen for efficiency, quiet, and ease — from the premium insulation to the high-performance roof with Low-E coating. But the true magic begins when the doors open. Multiple patios and decks invite you to live both indoors and out, each offering a different perspective of the peaceful canyon below. Host dinner under the stars, sip morning coffee among the treetops, or simply unwind as the breeze moves softly through the branches. Two front facing bedrooms offer comfort and privacy and a versatile guest room/loft sits tucked above it all — perfect for visitors, an office, studio, or an elevated retreat with its own sense of calm. And while the home feels worlds away, you’re still just a short walk to Normal Heights’ beloved restaurants, cafés, and neighborhood favorites — that rare blend of connection and sanctuary. This isn’t just a home. It’s a feeling — one you’ll want to experience for yourself.
