Your front door doesn't need to be centered in your front porch. Remove the bushes from and dig out the ground left of the sidewalk, tossing the dirt over to the right side. Build your front porch the same width as the cantilevered two story part of the home and at least eight feet deep with a forward facing gable roof with its point between the two windows. Use thick sturdy posts.

Do you have a photo of your house and a sketch of your plan? Adding a porch will darken the rooms inside, so reducing the window size may not be a good choice.

Janie, Thank you for the kind words. The purpose would be a nice place to sit and enjoy sunsets or otherwise hang out. I was thinking of extending the concrete a little and making something go from end to end. Maybe a couple chairs or a swing. Not sure of material, I just wanted to get some ideas. Haven’t thought of a budget.

Looks like you have some possible rot in the roof, some how much work/change aree you looking for? The most obvious points are: 1) you probably need railing for code. In my neighborhood, the old Victorians tend to have similar railings. So, check out your neighborhood for an appropriate style, check out your local historical society for a possible pic. 2) If you moved the stairs to near the doors and made a path around, you'd be able to use the porch,because it doesn't look like you have room for chairs, if you need to walk to the end of the porch to the door. I'd leave plenty of space for a flower bed or some shrubs between the new path and the new door. (I recommend broadleaved evergreens, like Mt Laurel, rhodos and azaleas. You can probably get a mix of leaf sizes nd bloom times) Of course, if you move the stairs,it helps to have another entry close to the garage/driveway for when it is sleeting and you really don't want the extra distance to your porch covering. That said, our driveway and garage are not that close to any of our house doors. We just keep an umbrella in the car.
