This wouldn't be so easy in the snow. I wouldn't buy this house, so I wonder what the resale will be.
I don't see any steps either, good luck walking down that without breaking a bone.

None of those are still like that. The street was reengineered to reduce the slope. Like, two decades ago. These are super old photos.
Especially considering the age of the suburban in the photo.

That being said, somebody did buy that house. They either drive a taxi or make frequent use of one, because there's a van taxi parked in the driveway in both the 2013 and 2014 street view photos.

It's actually the last of GM's 2 door SUVs. They're more valuable than the suburban of that era now.
Always loved those Yukon/Tahoes. Before the JT, I was on the look out for one for the last five years. Everytime I have found a clean one, they are wanting an insane amount or I was outbid by a ton.

I've seen some driveways around my way that look like that. There's a about 4 homes in the community my granddaughter lives in that have driveways similar to that.

They fixed it so the driveway is at a 31% slope or 17.4 degrees. 11 feet of elevation change in 35 feet.

In the early 80s my wife and I looked at a house in Alabama and her Ford Thunderbird could not get up the drive, just spun her tires.

PS:, I hope that house is not in snow a region, that would be fun plowing.
I think you just wait for the avalanche.

I think a stock Gladiator will just barely have enough breakover into the garage ?
