DECK HOUSE on 7.5 ACRES. Tucked away at the end of a quiet Port Republic cul-de-sac, this authentic Deck House offers iconic mid-century modern post-and-beam architecture on incredible acreage of dense hardwood forest. Designed to celebrate the changing seasons, the home features soaring Douglas Fir beamed ceilings, solid mahogany windows and trim, ash interior doors, and thoughtfully placed glass walls that frame vibrant forest views from every angle.
