In today’s home environment, designs featuring indoor/outdoor connections are more important than ever. At Foxlane Homes, we understand this increased need for outdoor entertainment spaces and the enhanced lifestyle they provide you, our homeowners. All of our unique floor plans offer outdoor features designed for the way we live, with plenty of opportunity for your own customization. Here’s a look into a few of our favorite outdoor design elements:
Covered Back Porch
There’s no better place to entertain than a back porch or deck. At Foxlane Homes, our homesites boast spacious outdoor areas with many offering wooded views for ultimate homeowner privacy. Optional backyard entertaining spaces act as an extension of the home, offering plenty of room for you to section off space for both living and entertaining with guests. Consider adding a patio table to create an outdoor dining space next to your outdoor kitchen, or maybe a few outdoor couches for a place to relax with coffee in the morning.
Outdoor Fireplaces
Just because cooler fall weather is here doesn’t mean the outdoor entertaining has to stop. Outdoor fireplaces are the perfect addition if you’re looking to enjoy your outdoor living spaces year-round. Just imagine the cozy evenings spent around the fire with family, friends and neighbors! For sports enthusiasts wanting to bring the game time experience home, you can add additional electric and cable outlets above the fireplace for the ultimate cozy game watching setup. Cheer on your favorite team with a watch party or have a movie night outdoors from the comfort of your own outdoor living space!
Screened Porches
Love the idea of a covered porch but want to stay a little more separated from nature? Opt for a screened porch! This porch option creates an indoor feel that allows you to enjoy your outdoor living space to its fullest no matter the weather or the season. You can also add other desirable interior elements not typically found in outdoor spaces that are fully exposed to the elements, such as ceiling fans and furniture meant for indoor areas.
Front Porches
That charming front porch entry that welcomes you inside your home isn’t there just for curb appeal. At Foxlane Homes, our home’s front porches can be easily transformed into functional spaces perfect for living and entertaining outdoors. While the majority of our home designs offer large front porches, other plans can have front porches added on or extended to suit your preferences. Add a few rocking chairs or a porch swing to create a space ideal for enjoying your morning coffee, reading a good book or chatting with the neighbors.
We hope these design options have given you a little bit of inspiration for the outdoor entertainment spaces you may want to include in your new home. For more information on building your dream home with Foxlane Homes or customizing your outdoor living spaces, contact us today!
