Here is a challenge for home buyers, real estate agents and home inspectors. 

I've posted a photo below of a side rail from a garage door. This rail tells you something about the garage that is unique. I would guess only 1 in 20 doors is like this. And it could be a problem for some home buyers.

Ann Arbor home garage door rail

So, what do you think?

Additional information that may or may not have any relevance:

The home was build in the 20's.

It is a two car garage with two doors.

The home started priced over $300,000.

The driveway is stamped concrete.

There are two missing windows.

The neighbor has a fountain.

The second pair of horizontal tracks is to reduce the high point of travel of top section so the door can be mounted in an area with low headroom. Owner owns a truck/van, owner no park in garage.

 

As for the fountain in the neighbors yard. Poor taste in lawn decor?

You've hit it Vince! Good job!

 And I like your joke about the fountain. They are not my favorite either.
