We live in a mid 19th century farmhouse. I wouldn’t trade it for a new one for anything.
Doncha just love it? We looked at old and new construction, ranch homes, houses in town and out, all kinds. But my heart kept coming back to this one (the first one we looked at actually.) It was the one house I could see myself living in and making into our home. In 16 years, I’ve never once regretted it. And we’ve had far less problems (just routine maintenance) than my mom with her newly constructed townhouse.
Our houses have character, don’t they?
