[quote=Anonymous]Well, my answer would be different from 10:19, b/c I live in a 1925 row house -- so it *does* look identical (aside from paint color) to the other 25 houses on my block (as well as the ones across the street and on the other side of block). To me, some of the appeal of a seriously old house is the construction quality -- we have two full layers of brick between our house and the house next door, for example, and then plaster on top of this, so we hear next to nothing from our neighbors. Some of it is the location -- I prefer living in the city, and lot of urban neighborhoods are older than their suburban counterparts and have older homes. (Though that's changing, as suburbs are aging and there's more development within the city.) And some of it, for me, is similar to the appeal of an antique table. Even if I could buy a new table/house built to the same specs as my old house, it wouldn't be an authentic old house.[/quote]
