Right off the main road, your wooded retreat awaits at these two adjoining octagon houses in the trees. The Silver Lake Tree House is accessed by stairs from three decks. On the main floor are two of the three bedrooms and two showers/ bathrooms. Upon entry of the main unit, is the kitchen, dining, sunken conversation fireplace area. The living areas all radiate from the central hub of the fireplace, so you’re always in “Circulation” with an open floor plan and one of the bathroom showers. Down a short hall, In the adjoining unit, Bedroom # 1 has two queen beds, one of which has a full size loft bed overhead. The second bedroom, is through the second bathroom,, at the end of the hall with one queen bed. For the more adventurous, the third bedroom with queen size bed, is up the spiral staircase where the view of Silver Lake dunes is over the Tree Tops!

The other overlooks the patio fire pit facing the wooded back lot and full size Tennis/PickleBall Court, sit in the sunken fireplace nook with a book, or soak in the hot tub.
