front steps

Porch access stairs

Front steps are the stairs leading up to the main entrance of a house or building, typically rising from the sidewalk or walkway to the front door.

They serve as a social space in many neighborhoods—a place to sit, chat with neighbors, or watch the street: We spent summer evenings on the front steps.

Also called the front stoop.
