Question : Which way does a house face when it’s advertised as a lakefront or oceanfront property?
Does the front door or yard to the house face to the lake or ocean if its called lakefront or oceanfront, or is this just a stupid play on words that we found useful for some unknown reason in realestate?

it means its on the lake or ocean you can see it from the house
Back when most of your visitors arrived by water then houses front door would face the water. Now most of our visitors arrive by street so our houses front door normally face the street.
I have seen houses that had front doors face both those ways and also one that faced an air strip.
But when we say Ocean front or water front we are talking about the property bounded in part by a body of water of some sort that is important. You would not normally say creek front or ditch front. But you might say river front.
