Sounds cool, but it was kind of ugly. The front yard was all driveway and garage. We didn't even look at the house because there were 4 steps up from the drive to the small front porch.
Our relator gave us a pile of listed houses. We drove by all of them. If it looked like it would be easily made wheelchair access we tole our relator to look at the house. Most of them were just drive by.
This was basically the only house that did not have any steps from the driveway thru the front door.
There was one That I think I should have bought. 80K for 3000sqft in an older ritzy neighborhood. The slab needed permajacked and the house needed updated. It was 3 bdroom and had walkin closets and a full bath for every bdroom, a bath for quests and a bath between the garage and laundry room. AND 6ft wide halways! It also had a big den with a fireplace that was open between the den and dining room. Brother and relator both talked me out of it because the slab was cracked. For the size and area there was plenty value to fix. Should not have listened to them. 5 years later I noticed the house sold again for 320K. Drove by and they hadn't done anything to the front of the house including fixing the crumbling driveway..
