Replace spiral staircase?

Hey everyone, recently purchased an Reo. Beautiful house but has a spiral staircase as the only means to the 2nd story. Should I keep or place with traditional stairs?

Personally I love spiral staircases I think they’re cool but as an investor I would replace it if you’re able too. They’re a trip hazard waiting to happen.

Just keep in mind spiral staircases are typically there for a reason, with the layout of the home there’s nowhere to conveniently put a staircase. Also it can be an expensive fix for something that might not even happen but ultimately that’s your decision.
