[quote=Anonymous]What does updated mean to you? New kitchens and bathrooms? Those are mainly cosmetic and relatively inexpensive when thinking about old house. Concerns are foundation (please consult a structural engineer) roof, chimneys, electric/wiring, plumbing. Unless someone has already removed lathe and plaster to update systems, it's really difficult to know what's behind the walls. Check septic and well if applicable. Beware of possibility of buried and abandoned ancient oil tanks. I love old houses. Have lived in three: 1770 - 1880. It's a life style choice, and usually an expensive one. It's worth it to us. Good Luck![/quote]
