The fact that there's no pictures of the kitchen or the bathrooms is a turn-off. Makes me think that they must be really bad.
You say that everything matches? That doesn't mean a thing. Matching avocado green appliances? Matching cheap metal cabinets? Matching pink toilet, sink and tub?
New appliances and custom built cabinets with wide pine counter tops. Bathrooms have white tub, sink, and toilet.
You have an acre and you have to stay within the original footprint of the house even though you have room to go bigger? That would be a deal killer for me.
Interesting about the permits because I would think a remodel of 100+ year old houses would be the very reason you need permits for a remodel, to make sure it was safe and up to current electrical, plumbing, fire and insulation codes.
I know it must a Northeast thing, but an unfenced yard would be a deal killer too for me.
Not room to go bigger. You can't build over the septic or the leach field. Plus we have a 2 acre minimum for building in the whole town. My house was grand-fathered in so my only rules for remodeling is that you have to stay within the footprint. No permits or inspections required for remodeling unless we are changing the footprint.
Nobody has fences up here, if they do then it's decorative only. An acre is quite small for my area, but there is 50 acres of un-buildable woodlands across the street from me for those who want it that is for sale for hunting and stuff. Septic and well is the norm for the whole area.
