Buying a home that doesn’t face street

We are strongly considering buying a beautiful home on an oversized lot. We love everything about the house itself, the location, etc. However, the home is oriented perpendicular to the street, so that from the street you are looking at the side of the house. The house is on an extra large lot, and the entire front of the house (door/porch/LR windows/DR windows) look out at the empty lot. So basically it has no backyard, but a park-like “front yard.”

In some ways it’s super nice the house is oriented this way, because from the house, you look out at this beautiful wooded lot. But from a curb appeal perspective I think it’s still a bit…weird…as you’re walking by. There’s no confusion about where the front of the house is; the house is clearly 90 degrees sideways on the lot.

Fun fact – it was built this way because when the house was built 100 years ago, it was facing the street. At some point the neighborhood was reconfigured and that’s why it’s sideways.

Help me reddit! Is this a reason not to buy it? It’s our only concern about the home, but it’s a permanent issue for this house. I can’t tell if over time it will be a growing annoyance or a charming quirk. On the whole, my gut says it’s ok, but I’m also concerned it’s more of a turn-off than I realize and thus could be a real problem with resale if we need to move.

Thanks for the opinions!

Edit to add: it’s an oversized lot *for a metropolitan area;* so I’m not talking acres and acres of land. The whole property is about half an acre. So even though it’s a large lot, the side of the house comes up close to the sidewalk; its not like the whole house is away from the street and up a hill or something.
