No tv, only ye olde radio for you, so you'll have to drop the voltage in the wiring. No more DCUM, gotta go re-enact a series of "This Olde Haus" for PBS--complete with sound effects, etc.
Umm, crazy much?

There's some nice woodwork, but it's a shame the original wood floors haven't survived. That '80s-style floor tile is also unfortunate.

WTH? All the other houses on that street are split-level houses. Huh? Did the Victorian house drop from the sky?
Obviously it was there first with a lot more land around it and then the other houses were added later.

Charming. Who cares what the other homes are like on the street. Vienna has so many new builds going on, most of the streets have a mix of styles.
