Here’s the porch area:

For a certain type of buyer, this is good staging. You always want to be sure there’s room for a baby grand:

Possible deal breaker

The design of this home is dated, but buyers who like a retro feel may appreciate its quirks. For those who aren’t into the ‘70s look, the 100-foot lot should make it possible to tear this place down and build something even bigger where it stood.
