[quote=Anonymous]I live in a renovated Victorian, circa 1900, and I have to say that it's the most gorgeous, wonderful, charming house belonging to anyone I know, and I know a lot of people! It was charming the day it was built, however, but that's because houses were built with such attention to detail in those days, and this house in particular was very well designed and built by a builder and owner who cared about every little detail. It has an updated kitchen, and updated baths, and it's been very well maintained, new AC and systems upgraded over the years. I'd take my house any day of the week over a McMansion of any type. I've never seen a McMansion that's half as charming or nice as my house. A few custom houses I've seen that are as well built, but none is a McMansion, which by definition is a cookie cutter place designed by some faceless hack architect who is following some builder's idea of a "great" house. Great room, check. Great front hall, check. Huge family room/kitchen, check. Three car garage, check. Carpeted bedrooms, check. Keep it, all of it! I'm going to give my house a hug! I love it!
