I love the house we are in now. Just bought it in December.
What I would change, because it was built in 1870 so it needs some updating.
I'd like to find the fireplace, or where it was. For a house this old I think it had to have had a fireplace at one time. Anyway I'd like a fireplace.
Also I'd love to install an attic fan. They work so great cooling the house off.
I want to hire someone to redo the porches. The front porch needs the paint scraped off and repainted. Same with the little porch off the master bedroom.
Actually I'd like to buy the duplex next to us and tear it down and extend our yard to over there. This was my plan when we bought this house. The whole neighborhood would love if we did! We live in an older neighborhood, all old houses that have been restored. And then next door we have a rental duplex.
Anyway if we ever did buy the duplex next door and tore it down, that is where our master bedroom is and I'd like to move the door that leads to the porch to a different wall, get french doors and make the porch bigger.
We also have plans to eventually redo the kitchen.
