Too much house for me a desperately needs a full kitchen reno (baths too if I'm honest). But I would like the 4 bedroom version of this house with a new kitchen and about a tenth of the outdoor space.

Houses from this era do not have the primary bedroom, or any bedrooms, on the first floor.

My grandmother lived in an 1880 Victorian house and the master was on the first floor. I used to give tours of her house during town festivals.

Many Victorians of this size had a first floor bedroom. There was always a grandmother living in, or mother recovering from a pregnancy. Or someone with a long illness. But Victorian layouts were also flexible as rooms could be a bedroom or a library or an extra parlor.

As it is, this house reminds me why I have no interest in a Victorian of this kind. Too many small poky rooms. No openness. Happy to respect it but not to buy it.
