In process of selling now and did see some truth in the article. House is historic, 2020 sq ft, built in the mid to late 1800’s in the country. I love history and antiques. But.... younger people aren’t into that.

This millennial is very much into that! I own a few historic houses, mostly bought for sentiment. Sometimes the architecture is irresistible. True the bathrooms are always too small, and often built as add-ons where a porch originally was. Usually on the cold side of the house too. :(

Last year I bought a rundown 6BR house, 4000sf, for $10k. FSBO, owner out of state just wanted it off his hands. It's only had 3 owners in 100 years. After I've tarted it up a little more, I might just move in. Never lived in a small place or a post-1920s place, and can't imagine ever doing so.
