Awe-Inspiring $1.9 Million Glass Treehouse in Los Angeles Climbs to the Top of the Week’s Most Popular Homes List

A sleek and stylish midcentury modern mansion hidden among the trees in Los Angeles has climbed to the top of the week’s most popular homes list.

Built in 1966, the two-bedroom Laurel Canyon home’s soaring ceilings and full-length glass walls make its 1,665-square-foot interior appear much larger than it is. The “serene sanctuary” boasts an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, hardwood floors, and a floating staircase, giving the space a truly ethereal quality.

Second-floor primary and secondary suites have private terraces, providing beautiful canyon views. There is also a bonus room that could be used as a home office, yoga studio, or third bedroom.

Also grabbing attention this week are a colorful “shotgun double” in New Orleans, a fully furnished condo tucked away in a dome home in Vail, CO, and a picture-perfect “pastel paradise” in Arkansas.
