Great deatil, great arches in the entryways, great plaster on the wall, cold as frozen tundra in the winter. You have to at least insulate the attic (for us that is where most of the cold comes from) and try to winterize the inside as much as possible. But, gosh, you forget all that when you see beauty and a work of art. I know what it is like to live in one of these old crarftsman style homes.

Nearly a million bucks for zero off street parking in an isolated neighborhood! And don't even mention the energy costs (wasted) with electric baseboard heat and uninsulated windows, and, most likely, uninsulated walls. At some point common sense and social responsibility has to trump nostalgia. Those WERE the "good old days". (And what's with the dining room window pulls attached to the sills?)
