49. my parents had a big Craftsman house with a 40 foot long front porch
Sun Jul 18, 2021, 07:55 PM
Jul 2021

there was another porch in the back and a small one which opened into two of the bedrooms. The prior home had burned, so when this one was built it included direct access to the outside from every room except the bathroom.

my husband and i had a similar one in indiana which we still miss even 32 years later.

I grew up around a lot of old farmhouses, mostly Victorian style. Porches, turrets, balconies etc.

after all that, i think my ideal house now would be a Low Country House. one story with a wraparound porch. If things work out we will move to AZ to live on our daughter's land near Prescott. She has a beautiful hilltop view so i would like that porch1!!
