Is there anything more inviting than a generous front porch?
The front porch is a thing of the past with most new homes. It’s a shame that most production builders skimp on the front porch in order to save a few dollars.

Tarrant County Tuesday has made a point over the years to feature homes (mostly older homes) that have a useful and practical porch. Enough of these five-foot-deep porches that big box builders slap on a home and pretend that it’s useful for anything. A deep front porch can act as another living or entertaining space. Especially when the weather is nice and the breeze is blowing, a porch can be the perfect addition to a home.
Porch vs. Patio
First of all, we need to get our terms correct. It drives me crazy when I hear people refer to the open air area on the front of the home as a patio instead of a porch. A patio is typically at the side or back of the home. A porch is at the front. Got it? Porch = front. Patio = back. Please try and remember.

Of course, the kitchen at 3701 Overton Park Drive East comes with all the goodies. A beautiful Wolf gas range, an additional oven, a farm sink, and a built-in refrigerator complete the area. While not the trendy “open concept,” the kitchen is enveloped perfectly by the family room, breakfast nook, dining area, and study.

The primary suite is quite large — and check out the multitude of closets — the other bedrooms are upstairs in the home. There is also a three-car garage and a bonus pool room and bathroom with backyard access.
Let’s Not Forget The Patio
While this home boasts a dynamic front yard and porch, there is a great patio and pool as well. There are some great trees that provide shade and privacy for back yard gatherings and swims.
