backporch
House's back platform
A backporch is the porch at the rear of a house, typically more private and informal than a front porch.
It's associated with leisure, family gatherings, and casual socializing: We spent summer evenings on the backporch.
In Southern and rural American usage, backporch carries connotations of homey, unpretentious living.
Also spelled as two words: back porch.
