enclosed porch
Glassed-in sitting area
An enclosed porch is a porch that has been walled in with windows, screens, or glass panels rather than left open to the elements.
It provides shelter while maintaining connection to the outdoors: We sat on the enclosed porch watching the storm.
The term distinguishes such spaces from open porches or fully interior rooms.
Also called a sunroom or three-season room depending on construction.
