Someone converted the garage into a storage room, which seems like a waste of money, but Zillow guesses this is worth $100,000 more than Mom's house, and this is the major difference.
There are tons of smaller differences, like luxury vinyl flooring and a paintjob during my brother's lifetime.
There is also that weird sunroom on the south side.
What happened to prohibiting building within 5 feet of the property line?
Well, the layout is completely different. It is on a corner. The north side faces a school.
This was once a daycare, which seems awesome, because the backyard is gravel!
There aren't any windows facing the backyard (with playground equipment), but the bedrooms are in the back of the house.
The storeroom and the front patio are the entire front of the house with the living room and the kitchen behind, then the bedrooms.
It doesn't show the sun room in any other pictures. I think there is a door with a pull-down shade in the dining room. All that I see is the bottom corner.
Supposedly they accepted an offer after 3 days, so they probably got their asking price.
3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and 1,632 square feet
If I could afford it I would want to put a garage on the north side, but that would block all of the windows.
