Stone foundation/dirt floor, lack of insulation in walls you may not be aware of, very old electric hidden behind the walls even if the panel is updated. To name a few.

The town I live in has quite a few houses that are 100+ years old, and while most of the old wood houses in Florida have rotted away, the remaining ones all have similar things to consider, so these are definitely all things on my radar.

That said, I’m not dead set that it must be an old house, but the history and old house charm is something I have loved since I was a little kid and I want to make my dreams come true lol!

Makes sense! I grew up in a house built in 1825 and my parents still live there. Definitely has its charm just comes with its quirks haha
