Not a single line about leaf-peepers, seriously?

You live in a house that has no front steps, yet the door is one yard above the ground.

I don't even know, actually! If anybody has a good explanation for this, I would be interested to hear.

In my parents' house, I think it's that there used to be front steps or a porch in front of that door, and then the house got renovated back around the turn of the century sometime. If there are houses specifically designed that way, maybe it's for the snow? Though we don't generally get hardpack up high enough to make that really practical, so I dunno.
