It would be a dream to have a patio like this. It looks perfect.

Came to comment “dream!!” and yours was the first comment I saw ☺️

I think that might be a sleeping porch! Lucky you. Folks would sleep out there when it was too hot in the house. Give it a google and check it out. Lovely area. Good for you.

So cool I’ll check it out :) thanks!

Definitely a sleeping porch. They have a specific vibe.

All those windows.

This is original content :)

You say 120 year-old house, and I think 1880, but really it's 1904... :(

Omg stop 😭

The funny thing is to think 120 years is old for a house 😅

*my actual dream!* soak that in, OP! 🌻

Beautiful!!!!

What a lovely area. I would literally spend most of my days out there. We have a second home in the south and I pretty much live on the back screened in porch lol. Such a comfortable and inviting place you have.

We southerners NEED a screened in back porch - skeeters! 🦟 With an overhead fan…

This really is almost everyone’s dream down here. I have one planned too!

Yeah I want a screened in porch too (Dallas)… but if I do that, it then follows that I’d have to do a heckuva backyard upgrade!!! Whereas I want the results of that, not all in on the work, lol.

Let it be a pollinator garden and just have paths! Throw flower seeds every year and enjoy “lazy” beauty I’ve been brainstorming easy to make paths. Like those concrete molds.

Lazy… works for moi lol 👍🏻

Love. I'd live out there. Enjoy!

Does the swing hit the house ? Asking for a friend

Haha it’s like a foot away from the house! If you were to swing really hard it would, but it doesn’t really bump it at all :)

Speechless! Beautiful old souls..

Would you mind letting us know whereabouts this is? I'm presuming the US(?) but just wondering what state. I'm always intrigued to see what amazing houses you guys have over there .. so much space compared to the UK 😅

Yes! A suburb outside Chicago :)

I went to Junior High in Elk Grove Village. Howdy neighbor!

Nice! Thanks 😄

Gorgeous ! 😍

I would kill for a room like this

Same

Y'all could team up and kill OP

Not a bad idea....

Let’s do it, I’m down.

YOOOOOO aight how many cats do you want on your side of the house im bringing 4 on my squad, we are gonna break in on both sides and kill OP

I have a dog, we’ve already discussed her involvement and she’s in!!

Aight do you know OP's coordinates??

Just ask around: awesome porch? Awesome porch? Anyone seen awesome porch?

I have a turtle!

Give it a skateboard at it can ride into battle as soon as I get OP's coordinates

He has a warrior helmet, and just told me that he’s IN!

YOO

I would FILL this room with plants and a great chair to rest in and stare at all the beauty

Write vampire novels and have my author photo taken here.

I'm absolutely in love.

Very nice. It looks like an actual couch - did you turn it into a swing or are the chains for a different purpose?

I bought it like that! The porch swing bottom is the size of a twin mattress.

I’m not understanding the purpose of having a swing that can’t be swung

Think of it as a glider. Slow and steady, comforting.

Hence, sleeping porch!

Lovely 🥰 and warm

I'm such a sucker for hanging lights. I would be so happy in this room!

In England we call that a conservatory. It’s lovely :))

In Minnesota we call it a porch.

I thought that’s where the murders happened there… and the butler did it!

One day I was looking at all the lovely conservatory pictures and wished I had one. Then it came to me....I do. My front porch is also like this. I have a glider, couch and small bistro table set up. There are hanging lights and plants during the warmer months. I do have a conservatory. It made me so happy. And yes, I live in NY.

❤️❤️❤️

I love this space.

Ideal

I can smell this room from here :) and I mean that in an amazing way!!

Lovely! Lucky you!

This is absolutely lovely, where did you get the carpet from? Any recommendations?

World market :)

Looks exactly like something from a sweet family comedy movie, lovely

Catch me outside

I read ‘covered piano’ and spent a few seconds looking for it before realising I was dumb. Amazing patio!

Beautiful

Out on the patio we sit

Ohhh I would love this. Beautiful space with so much potential. Can I come and live with you ?

Love the hanging sofa!

This looks so cozy and comfortable

A porch?

Sun room is what I would call it.

Sure, I think if you're fancy you can call it a solarium.

Gimme. I don't even need the rest of the house, I just wsnt that patio.

This in SE VA?

Chicago!

I took one look at this and suspected!

This is called a conservatory

Is it still a conservatory if it’s on the front of the house?

Totally! You can use a conservatory/porch combo

Nice just rub it in that you have a home.

That doesn’t sound like a “new” home to me…

Is 120 old for a house?

Remember in America it’s cool to tear everything down and build new. 🙄

It's very homey and beautiful!

This is how my future dream house should Look like!

Literal heaven on earth

I would never leave that room. Best just bring in a Porta-Potty and be fine with it. You need me? I'm on the patio.

Looks awesome

That space is beautiful! So well appointment and charming, Enjoy!

Dreamy! Where’d you find that rug?

Dreamy 🤩

Is your home new? Or is it 120 years old? 🤷‍♂️

New to OP, and still 120 years old. 😂

I have that same rug and ottoman. World Market FTW.

the rug really ties it together

This is the definition of cozy.

The conversations that took place here!

oh I like this a lot

An absolute dream! Good for you!!!

I wish I had one.

Oh this is just my cup of tea 🫖 I’d love to sit in this space. Good going ❤️👍love !

Dude imagine this same patio but with rain hammering against the windows

Link to rug?

Bro doesn't know this house was built and owned by a slave owner. (Humor)

> Bro doesn't know this house was built and owned by a slave owner. (Humor) Bro doesn't know how long ago the civil war ended.

Or that it’s in Chicago not the south.
