1251. Abdullāh bin Shaqīq said: "I asked 'Āishah regarding the voluntary prayers of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. She replied: 'He would pray four (Rak'ahs) in my house before Zuhr, then go out (to the Masjid) and lead the people in prayer. Then he would return to my house and pray two Rak'ahs. And he would lead the people for Maghrib, then return to my house
and pray two Rak'ahs. And he would lead them for Ishā, then return to my house and pray two Rak'ahs. And he would pray nine Rak'ahs at night, including the Witr. And he would pray for a long time at night, standing (in prayer), and (sometimes) he would pray for a long time at night while sitting. So when he recited (the Qur'an) while he was standing, he went into Rukū' and prostration from a standing position. And when he recited (the Qur'an) while he was sitting, he would go into Rukū' and prostration from a sitting position. And he would pray two Rak'ahs when dawn appeared, then he would leave (for the Masjid) and lead the people in Fajr.”” (Sahih)

Commentary
It is better if one performs these Sunnah prayers in one's house. It encourages one's family, especially the children, to maintain these prayers.
