Located on the ground level, the back porch blends seamlessly with the architectural integrity of the home.

A covered porch gives homeowners the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, rain or shine.

"People envision a home being about getting together with friends and family and having fun," says interior designer Linda Woodrum. The spacious lounge area is designed to do just that, accommodate a crowd with ease.

Wraparound seating dominates the corner of the porch, and a door to the basement provides easy access for entertaining indoors and outdoors.
