Mr Coeur de Lion Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 See this all the time on property ads and I've never remembered to ask what it means when I've had the chance. What does it mean? Literally not of door, but that makes no sense. Can anyone enlighten me svp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
