One of our favorite features of all time is the front porch. Every home used to have one.  It was the place where families would hang out on a hot summer day to sip lemonade and watch the kids play.  Front porches went out of style in a lot of the architecture of the 80s and 90s and they’ve become less common as a result.  Harkening back to the old days, we’ve found some amazing homes on the market right now that still have iconic front porches.  Let’s take a look!
