Screened Porch Appraisal

Modern Rustic Elevated House with Screened Porch and Garage

This item is an elevated, two-story house with a distinct modern rustic architectural style, likely situated in a rural or wooded setting given the surrounding trees and unlandscaped ground. The primary color scheme consists of a dark green for the siding and structural beams, complemented by reddish-brown (possibly stained wood or painted metal) for the deck railings and the underside of the elevated deck. The house features a prominent gable roof design with a vented attic space visible at the very top. The upper level boasts a large, fully screened-in porch that spans the entire width of the visible facade, offering expansive views while providing protection from insects. This screened area is supported by substantial vertical beams. Within the screened porch, multiple windows are visible, including pairs of square windows on the upper and lower sections, suggesting living spaces behind the screens. The railings of the elevated porch are characterized by a crisscross or diagonal grid pattern, contributing to its rustic aesthetic. Below the elevated living space, the ground floor serves as a functional area, featuring a dark-colored, paneled garage door with horizontal divisions. The foundation appears to be concrete, with concrete pads leading to the garage and extending to the side, potentially for a pathway or additional parking. The house is built on piers or stilts, which is common in flood-prone areas or to enhance views. A white propane tank is visible on the right side of the ground level. The construction appears sturdy and relatively new, with no significant visible wear or damage. The unlandscaped ground in the foreground, with some small saplings and a wooden pallet, suggests recent construction or ongoing outdoor work. The overall design emphasizes outdoor living and a connection to nature, characteristic of contemporary cabin or vacation home architecture.
