Long story short, my husband and I are going to be relocating to the northeast in the US. We currently live in the south- Florida. I have always wanted a very old home and it looks like I may have the option to get it now. We are looking at townhouses that are very traditional in walkable historic neighborhoods and they are built between 1800 and 1900 for the most part. We have owned multiple homes, but never anything that old. We are from an area where it's all subdivisions and things generally are not older than 40 years.
Any particular advice or words of wisdom for properties that are much older? I will of course get the lists of when they've upgraded all of the major systems like heating, electric, roofing, windows, and the like, but looking for some guidance about what we may not know to think about.
