They also took out the large picture window and replaced it with a large slider. I think their mission was to kill any character in the home. Ah well, its theirs now. I am no longer emotionally attached.

I had the same sad experience driving by my childhood home. It was an elegant house.
The new owners installed a tacky chain link fence in the back yard, built a cheap metal detached garage in the side yard (it has a two car attached garage), and widened the driveway to look like a parking lot.
Don't get me started on how they over-trim the bushes into geometric shapes. The landscaping was beautiful with the bushes having a natural setting look. It looks silly now. They just look all hacked up.
