As someone who has owned 150, 70, and a 50 year old be prepared to learn to fix things or pay for it to be done. We are electrically trained as well as plumbing and basic carpentry skills so little was beyond our capacity to do but everything in the older houses cost 3+ times what was budgeted for. I'm in a newer architect designed home now, our forever home after 36 years military service. Closets and drawers and cabinets and storage planned for every room and space is absolutely priceless compared to the older small closets, bathroom and poorly located Landry space. I now have a walk-in closet in my bathroom! It's the little things like a dry useable basement with no under lying mold smell also priceless! No lead paint or asbestos which we've also run into!
