[quote=Anonymous]We left a wonderfully charming 1938 Cape Cod for a new build last year. In part because I didn't want to do a Frankenstein renovation on the old house (cosmetically/design wise, but also I didn't want to live through it). That house had its issues, but it was built like a rock. We lived through a hurricane there in our first year and my dad was on the phone reassuring me that the house had seen everything and that I shouldn't be too worried. I am self-aware about our new build on a tear down lot and of what made way for our new house, and the house is definitely large for us, but there wasn't really a middle ground house that got us the space we needed and didn't involve substantial renovation. FWIW, our new neighborhood seems to have many new builds from each of the last couple of decades, so it's not like ours is the first of its type.[/quote]
