Absolutely stunning one-of-a-kind Treehouse, locally known as The Stilt House. This is a fantastic example of mid-century modern architecture, designed by Ralph Morgan as his residence in 1965. All redwood construction, with plenty of glass providing 360-degree views of Dry Creek. The home has an open floor plan with an updated kitchen & recently remodeled spa-inspired master bathroom. The unique construction lends excellent privacy and is a nature lover’s dream.
The Stilt House boasts a massive tree enclosed in the back deck that has grown since the home’s construction, creating an outdoor space that is an entertainer’s dream! The mid-century modern architecture is a beauty to behold for architects as well as the casual visitor, and although the home is nearly sixty years old, it has been loved and preserved to keep the original charm alive. The living room is spacious enough to fit your entire family with room to spare, or to entertain guests in a Madmen-style atmosphere. Although centrally located, you won’t feel like you’re in Modesto. It has more of a hillside swanky LA Cabin feel, with all the appeal of the 1960s.
Kitchen – The brand new appliances and new countertops give this home a fresh feel while still preserving the natural elements of the home’s vintage architecture. This kitchen is a chef’s dream! All the pots and pans you need, a high-end refrigerator, plus a double oven make this the perfect place to cook family dinner. If you are looking to really impress, a private chef is available upon request. Please make sure to inquire if this is a service you would like to take advantage of.
The master bedroom is secluded on the back end of the home, and features a king-sized bed! If you are traveling for work or need to handle some quick business while on vacation with the family, we also have a great work from home set up in the back room that’s perfect for folks on the go. Two work stations are built right in and provide plenty of space for all your needs. Connected to the master is the newly remodeled spa-inspired master bathroom. This entire bedroom is lined by windows! Lots of natural light and views of nature to help you relax and enjoy your stay.
There are two more bedrooms, both with queen beds and their own work stations in addition to 50 inch TVs. Perfect for visiting with other adults or older children who would appreciate the privacy.
Our home is located 2 minutes off the 99 freeway in the College Area of Modesto, which is known for its beautiful homes and proximity to Modesto Junior College (established in 1921 and the first community college to erect a junior college classroom in the state of California). It is minutes from downtown which has plenty of restaurants, coffee shops and nightlife available, as well as the Gallo Center for the Arts, which hosts cultural activities throughout the year. It is three blocks from Doctors Medical Center and a seven minute drive to Memorial Hospital. The 99 freeway allows visitors to reach Turlock in about 15 minutes, Tracy/Stockton in around 30. San Francisco is less than two hours away for those who enjoy the city, and Yosemite National Park is two and a half hours away for those who enjoy the outdoors.
The space is equipped with central heat and air, blazing fast WIFI download capabilities, and three large Smart TVs for all of your viewing needs. There is a new washer and dryer (we supply detergent and fabric softener), large indoor and outdoor dining tables, plenty of comfortable seating and local art throughout the home. Families, solo travelers and groups traveling for business will find this home more than comfortable.
The entire space is available for guests to use!
Our home is located in one of the most desirable areas of Modesto. Older custom homes with personality and flare. It’s near all major hospitals, the perfect location and just a few Minutes from downtown for working individuals or families looking to be in central Modesto. Modesto’s finest restaurants, all situated within a few minutes we also offer a private chef as well as mixologist. La Loma park is a paved trail that’s ideal for walks, runs, or bike rides (we include a couple of adult-sized beach cruisers!) and it’s located directly behind the home.

The home has original wood floors from 1965. Please be careful about dropping objects, as it damages and chips easily and has been preserved for almost sixty years. Trash is on Monday mornings so please take the cans to the street on Sunday evening.
We have a portable pack and play and high chair available upon request if you are traveling with little ones. Our property also comes with a stocked coffee (Keurig) and tea bar.
The home is next to a creek so please absolutely no pets and watch children when playing outside. We also recommend watching children on the deck as the home is 20 feet above ground.
VERY IMPORTANT!
Every window in this property opens! WATCH YOUR CHILDREN as we do not want them to open a window without adult supervision. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE ANY WINDOWS OPEN. Although the home is located close to major areas of town, it is also the last property before a natural creek, and nature will get into the home. This can range from leaves and bugs to birds bats and spiderwebs. Please keep windows closed so you don’t have any uninvited guests.
