Do you like large front porches?
I’ve always loved and wanted a large front porch. I would love to have room for chairs, plants, and maybe a swing! My porch is so small and tiny. There’s barely room for one flowerpot.
Here are 2 photos of houses with porches that I like. I also like the exteriors & architecture of these 2 homes.

I do and I don't. It depends on the house. Both of these are attractive houses. My personal preference is for a more private large screened-in porch, which probably wouldn't be desirable or attractive on the front of the house.

Yes I like large front porches. I really like the 2nd house and the porch.

Growing up I once went to a two story house that had a 2nd floor "porch" that went the entire circumference of the house. The house was on a couple of acres. The view was spectacular and had these luxurious rocking chairs, about 4 to 6 on each side of the home. I wanted to have that with my large immediate family to gather someday. It was never to be. Im single, no kids but what a memory!

Myfront porch is nice, but I wish it was larger, maybe in my next life. Sigh.

I also love big front porches. I would decorate it so much. Every holiday and it would never end.

Since I was a young girl I have always loved front porches. I lived in the city so it was out of the question to have one. When I looked for a home in the suburbs later in life I hoped to find one with a big front porch but didn't have any luck finding what I liked in my price range. Decks were the thing at the time. I still love front porches and would take the second house in a blink!!!!!!

That's strange. I grew up in the city too. In the neighborhood(s) I grew up in, every house had front & back porches. Some open & some enclosed.
After I married & moved to a city in N.J., I was shocked the houses had no front porches. Looked funny to me.
When we bought a house "in the burbs" we added a front porch which we kept open. The added back porch was enclosed.
The 2nd floor of the house had a deck which ran the length of the house. Our house was the only one in town w/porches & a deck.
I currently live in a 55+ community. Each building has wrap around porches. The back porches are screened.
