As far as I can see, there's nothing wrong with it although I may do a drive by just out of curiosity.
I can only speculate that there was a buyer who got talked out of it by a family member or someone?? But really, Listing Agent? That's your lead sentence that you think is going to attract a buyer?? But then again, I may have overly high expectations for an agent who thinks that the garage is the most attractive feature of the house and makes it the main photo.
Well, it's hard not to "feature" the garage when the house plans are like that. I really hate those kinds of layout. All you see is garages up and down the street with the main entrance hidden on the side.

No, that's the worst part. The garage photo is the back of the house, with the garage on an alleyway! There is actually a lovely front entrance to the home that should be highlighted but which is not even shown at all in the listing.

We have a neighborhood like this in my town - it's a neighborhood specifically design to be urban residential - small, close homes, garages on the back with alley access. It's a lovely neighborhood and one of the most sought after in our town because of the amenities, shops and restaurants found within walking distance.
chances are people looking for homes in the area of the listing will know immediately that the home is in "that" neighborhood and won't care about the garage being on an alley.
And I agree they should have taken a photo of the front of the house.
Yes, much prefer the picture of the FRONT of the house. Why a photo of the alley.
Steering. It's an old fashioned expression. Like redlining. And may indeed be a "code" way here of referring to the 30% white population of GW High School and the dicotomy there between gifted and just making it.

Yes, this is a planned community built the same way. So the problem isn't that the garage is on an alley, that's the norm for this community. It's that the listing agent chose to feature the photo of the garage as the main picture of what otherwise looks like a nice house.
You don't find it strange that the first sentence of the listing is telling people not to let someone talk them out of buying this house? That seems very odd to me!

I saw the front of the house toward the end of the photos.
I'm not sure what the issue is and I am definitely not sure where you are coming up with the statement in your original post about the back story and the home being taken from a family member.
How can one even come up with such a guess from a description written by a hired realtor who really knows nothing about the home or it's history.
