Front door walks into dining room?

[Beth D.]

I can't decide if I'm over thinking this or if I need to find a solution. The ranch we are rehabbing does not have an entry/front closet space. The front door opens into the open kitchen/dining room. There is a back door with a coat closet but I know if it was my house it would really bug me that I didn't have a spot to throw coats/bags when I walk in.

Is it worth finding a solution or should I just let the buyer "figure it out" and make the back entry/"mudroom" the main area?

And yes, I realize how petty of a detail this is...
