If you’re looking for some hot deck-on-deck action, look no further than this little 1968 number on Institute Ln., just north of Rice. Sure, the house looks like a tight little box — what self-respecting Mod pod from the swingin’ sixties didn’t? — but it’s . . . full of decks!
Check out the deck choreography in the photo above, taken from the upstairs screen porch. You’re looking onto a slightly lowered deck that’s open to the sky. Beyond and below the screens is a two-story courtyard — with a covered patio beyond.
Uh . . . where’s the indoors? Through the sliding door on the right. The red chair is in the upstairs Den.
After the jump: decks, decks, and more decks!

Absolutely beautiful!
Ah memories. I grew up at 5302 Institute, next door to that house.
