Stoep used in a sentence

Stoep in a sentence as a noun

‘Geen poep op de stoep’ applies to both meanings as well.

The Van Dale dictionary seems to list another meaning of ‘stoep’ as steps to a house. Have I understood correctly?

While “op de stoep staan” is a very common expression nobody knows it’s actually about those stairs in front of a house.

In current Dutch, the word 'stoep' means side walk, and has nothing to do with these kind of stairs. I'm the Dutch golden age, in which the inner city of Amsterdam got it's channels, they did add these stoops to the big mansions for exactly the same reason.
