Welcoming, homey and relaxed, house plan designs with front porches come with an open invitation to enjoy life at a slower pace.

If mid-century modern or contemporary is more your style, you'll find home designs in this collection that also incorporate sleek balconies, open breezeways, and dramatic decks. Although well-suited for homes sited on level lots, porches can also provide a comfortable way to enjoy the outdoors on narrow, sloped, or marshy sites.

Whether you're dreaming of spending afternoons sipping iced tea or planning parties that include the whole neighborhood, you'll find a plan on Dream Home Source that makes it come true.
