Reply #48: Maybe that is not her front yard

[csziggy]

With an "18th century farmhouse" the orientation of her house may not correlate to the orientation of the other houses in the neighborhood. If the neighborhood was built around her house, hers could appear to be "backwards" on the lot. Or maybe it is on a corner. I've seen old houses who essentially had no yard area that was private once the larger piece of land originally dedicated to it was sliced off and sold. Without looking at a plat of the neighborhood how are we to know? :shrug:
