After reading all of the comments and looking at the listing, I just had to look up the owner.
He is a recent widower, and his wife of 63 years was a big contributor and volunteer to the M. Library for many years, as well as a Minister in Meredith. She passed 3 years ago.
At his age, I'm thinking he is less concerned with the chairs being down outside and just wants to downsize into a smaller home that doesn't hold so many memories.
I hope he gets though the winter in an easier place to manage.
