Wow. Old houses can be really cool, or really a nightmare. I come from having the nightmare experience of a house that could have been awesome. It just wasnt' kept up well and not a lot of modern improvements were done. Yeah, it had electric, HVAC, and bathrooms, but there was no insulation at all and huge gaping spaces in between the single pane windows. Ugh. It cost a lot. But it was also a 2800 square foot house!
