It can be difficult to get large pieces of furniture up some of those narrow stairs. Just something to think about before buying any new furniture.

Also the front doors. I had a friend who couldn’t get their new washer and dryer into the house :/

live in my house long enough that both sofas I've bought were delivered through the front window. I'm lucky to have newer windows that are easy to pop out.

Just bought 2nd washer dryer and luckily delivered through a rear bulkhead into the basement and the Home Depot guys doing the delivery didn't bat an eye at doing this.

Actually the big front windows in most row homes were always designed to be the way to get big things in and out. Then people started remodeling and put in different windows not knowing they were opting out of an intentional design convenience.

I am very pleased with my wide front window for this reason. It has definitely come in handy.

We bought a new sofa last year from Sofas etc. and they had someone from the delivery company come out and measure the doorways themselves and guarantee it would fit before we ordered. IIRC we had to pay a small fee but it could be applied to any of their furniture-- definitely worth the peace of mind.
