About this property
Tree canopy apartment in an Historic district
Chill in the secluded, tree-lined yard at a refined retreat. Live among the trees at a 2-story hideaway combining downtown views, vintage artwork, and reclaimed light fixtures. Unwind with a game of cards around the chic monochrome table, then climb the spiral staircase for a restful night's sleep. We built and furnished the Bird Nest with some of our favorite pieces- vintage artwork, reclaimed light fixtures, industrial sink, SMEG fridge, circular staircase, wide plank oak floors. The Bird Nest is in our backyard yet very much a private getaway - No windows face our house, it has it's own entrance (accessible by staircase), small yard, alley access and parking for 1 car.
The Bird Nest is all self check-in. Come and go as you please with your own entrance off the alleyway. We live in the main house and are available as needed. Please note, we have stairs- lots of them! There is a flight of stairs to access the front door, and a circular staircase inside. If stairs are not your thing, this place is not for you! At this time, we do not have a baby gate for the top of the stairs. It's a residential neighborhood, with 2 alley flat residents nearby so we ask that you not be loud as you come and go in the evening, especially late at night!
