Ode to the Front Porch

by | Feb 15, 2019 | Real Estate

Standing out among the many extraordinary features offered by Steamboat Springs housing, your front porch serves as a unique character in a masterful interplay of shared open space, native plant life, views of the mountains and the inviting pathways and trails winding through the community. There is, indeed, something magical about a front porch.

Imagine…

… a summer sunset, a light breeze, the sounds of plants rustling and children playing, the creak of a porch swing, the smell of home cooking and the bubbles of casual conversation as neighbors gather along low stone walls and on each other’s porches to discuss the day, their plans and sweet life as they know it. Imagine being the one swinging gently back and forth on that porch, drink in hand. From where you are, you can see that sunset, those mountains, the lively green park in front of your home and your neighbors in their yards and on their porches. You wave at the kids having a doll picnic in the park.

Love at First Sight

When you first saw the Steamboat Springs housing you now live in, what you noticed was this beautiful porch and the native landscape around it. You fell in love with that face. You noticed the other great porches on either side of yours and beyond, each with its own personality. What a welcoming group! Beyond the broad sweep of the porch and its railings, you noticed whimsical stone paths and low stone walls. You imagined this moment right here, just swinging away and loving life.

So Many Ways

A porch serves as a sheltered space in which to commune with thoughts, nature and other people. It serves as a buffer between privacy and public life, offering a space where people can get acquainted without the commitments of intimacy. On the other hand, a porch can be an intimate place, serving as an escape from eyes inside. It can be the place where kids go to take the noise outside but stay out of the street. It is a date-at-home on a starry night, a place to catch your breath after shoveling snow or a first kiss, or a second, or a thousandth. It’s the open arms of your living, breathing home.
