window seat

View-privileged spot

A window seat is a seat positioned beside a window, especially on an airplane, train, or bus: I always request a window seat so I can watch the landscape.

A window seat is also a built-in bench beneath a window in a home, often with storage underneath, designed for sitting and looking out.
