[quote=Anonymous]For the last 20 years we've lived in older homes (circa 1915 and 1920). This was in a NYC suburb in a town comprised almost exclusively of old homes. We are now moving to the DC area and looking primarily at newer construction townhomes. Older Home Likes: Solid construction, high ceilings, and great architectural details like crown molding, true divided light window panes, oak flooring. Dislikes: Old wiring (especially old knob and tube), inefficient, uneven furnace and radiator heating, small closets, small bathrooms, and lack of family room/kitchen/living space "open flow." After so many years of renovating an old home, adding a family room, deck, open kitchen, new bathrooms, my house is great. But I could never go through another old house rehab at this point in my life. It's time to move on to other things.[/quote]
