What is a "porch"?
A porch is a covered outdoor area attached to the entrance of a house or building, often serving as a transitional space between the indoors and outdoors. It is typically elevated, with steps leading up to it, and may have a roof supported by posts or columns. Porches can be open or enclosed with screens or glass and are commonly used for relaxing, socializing, or enjoying fresh air. They often feature seating, such as chairs or benches, and can be decorated to create a welcoming entrance to the home.
