Approach the bridge at the bend of DeGress Avenue and enter the whimsically contemporary space of this unusual structure, known to neighbors as the “Tree House.” Built in 1999, it is one of the neighborhood’s few modern dwellings, a striking contrast to the 19th- and 20th-century architecture seen nearby. Owners Colin and Devin relocated from Chicago several years ago. After a short time in Alpharetta, they discovered Inman Park and their unique house, which they bought in 2021.
The house is set in a verdant ravine—a fern gully graced with distinctive yard sculptures and sumptuous plants. A corrugated roof highlights the home’s angular design, making it feel both edgy and playful. Inside, open stairwells are suffused with natural light.
The lowest level provides parking and storage, while the second level hosts a sleek open kitchen, dining corner, and living room. It also offers an elegant, contemporary white bathroom. The third level houses the primary bedroom with wide, expansive windows, which seem to bring the property’s trees within reach. You’ll also see the guest bedroom with the second bathroom, another example of chic modernity. On the landing take a moment to appreciate the picture of a graceful tree the owners purchased at a previous Inman Park Festival; it reminded them of their special house. The rooftop level of the house presents a large terrace, the best place to view the lush encircling garden or, at night, to watch the stars. This lovely outdoor room captures the imaginative charm of the Tree House, an unforgettable home in this vibrant neighborhood.
