Just Some Favorite Front Porches
Houzz Contributor. Hi There! I currently live in a 1920s cottage in Atlanta that I'll describe as "collected."
I got into design via Landscape Architecture, which I studied at the University of Virginia. I've been writing about design online for quite a few years over at Hatch: The Design Public Blog.

Is there anything quite like a front porch to make a house look like a home? When I think of front porches, I think of watching neighbors, socializing, drinking iced tea and enjoying a breeze on a swing.
These are some of my all-time favorites from around the U.S.A.

| I think this is one of the most charming porches I've ever seen. It's in Branford Connecticut, across the street from the ocean. |

| In Charleston, the porches are built down the sides of the homes because of some sort of property tax that was assessed by how long the street side of the house was. Thus, there is often a little gate to the long side porch at the street. Since its hot as Hades down there in the summer, you can see whey they needed two levels of porch. |
I love the stone, rough hewn wood and tin roof in this vernacular Texas Hill County cottage.

| The massing of this home and the welcoming front porch is very pleasing. I'm guessing it has the square footage of a McMansion, but there is nothing McMansion about its style. |
Wicker and porches go hand in hand.

I have a feeling this is a back porch, but I had to throw it in here anyway. Beautiful stone, wide open views and a fire - what a great spot!

| This is my favorite house in my neighborhood - the porch and the picket fence just make the place. |
