I have been sharing top essential and desirable features in your new home listed by The National Association of Home Builders and number 7 front porch. You know where I am going with this, Knee Walls! This survey is from around the country and yes many new home developments have homes with front porches. The homes in The Villages really aren’t designed with front porches, but there is a solution, knee walls. Yes I know this is about the fourth article about knee walls I have shared but I am just going down the list!
Many Village homes have the front walkway to the front door surrounded by landscaping which is nice if you maintain it but think how great it would look with pavers in place of landscaping and a nice knee wall out front. Maybe a couple of chairs, side tables and if you have room table and chairs for four.
Across the street from our home is an Airbnb we helped flip and I suggested a knee wall, the flipper agreed. David one of my handymen had the vision and built it. I see guest and their company using it all the time. I have gone over and introduced myself and sat on the knee wall while visiting. Why not have two outdoor areas, one in the front and a lanai in the back.
