Post & Beam

Deck Houses are special, and so are the people who choose to live in them. Every Deck House reflects the dreams and vision of its owners, and each bears an unmistakable architectural signature expressed in the finest natural and man-made materials with a perfect blend of aesthetics and function. A sense of proportion, a balancing of parts to the whole, is integral to the Deck House concept. Exceptional design and the clean, classic simplicity of the structure is drawn from its Post-and-Beam framing system, a bold and timeless form as beautiful as it is practical. This is a house that exudes strength and grace with attention to the flow of space that surrounds one with a sense of freedom and movement. Space expands vertically to soaring ceilings, and horizontally through free-flowing, open interiors and walls of glass. Light and shadow provide continuous drama as they move through the house, filtering through an expanse of glass and bathing each room with warm hues as the sun's daily path makes an ever-changing pattern. Mahogany, cedar, fir, oak and masonry offer the subtle colors and rich textures that are the major decorative elements of a Deck House. Careful and consistent use of these fine materials makes a pleasing visual and emotional transition between the home and its surroundings. Expressed in organic materials and natural hues, the Deck House complements rather than intrudes upon its setting. The house and its environment are in magnificent unison. This beautiful home combines stunning shared spaces with thoughtfully designed and well-appointed personal spaces. Beyond the welcoming entry is a stunning double-height great room with a wall of glass that overlooks this private and pristine property. Anchored by a towering hand-built stone fireplace, the great room shares impressive space with an open-plan kitchen and dining area. A half-bathroom is located on this level for the convenience of all. A covered deck adjoins the dining area, enabling 3-season entertaining in a protected, screened-in space. A separate door leads from the kitchen to a deck that spans the entire side elevation of this home and provides convenient access to the yard, gardens and a custom-built greenhouse. A private family room is adjacent to the kitchen and facilitates quiet moments as well as the enjoyment of broadcast and streaming media. Beyond the family room is the laundry room and pet spa. The pet spa is conveniently accessed from the breezeway to the 2-car garage, enabling our four-legged friends to be bathed or cleaned before entering the house. The private primary suite is conveniently located on main level of the home. This suite includes a sitting room with fireplace adjacent to a covered deck, a generously proportioned bedroom, a newly remodeled (2025) Asian-inspired full bathroom and spa, and walk-in and linen closets. The heated garage completes the ground level of this home. The garage features a resin-sealed floor, electricity and plumbing, and access to spacious attic storage. The upper level of this home is accessed via a stunning open gallery overlooking the great room with its wall of glass, and the beautiful property beyond. Three bedrooms and two full bathrooms are located on the upper level, all carefully situated to maximize privacy and natural light. The lower level of this home exudes luxury. A bedroom suite includes a private spa with separate steam room, steam shower and full bathroom. The open-plan bedroom includes a kitchenette and Murphy bed to maximize the enjoyment of this retreat. The lower level opens on to a massive patio, which is visible through the large windows throughout the lower level. A large family room takes full advantage of all the windows and adjoins a large exercise room. A generously proportioned activity room that is currently used as a craft room is located next to the exercise room.
