A front porch is a must on any house I might own. I’m not sure when it became a must for me — none of the houses I lived in growing up had front porches. When my husband and I bought our first home about 10 years ago, though, it had to have a front porch. It doesn’t get much better than sitting in the sunshine, book in hand, maybe rocking or swinging and sipping a drink.
