Old houses like that looks cool but they are horribly designed for modern day and typically needs 100k in upgrades.
Please do not buy an hold house like this if you do not have the funds set aside to heat it in the winter. There is a reason these old houses are so cheap.

Drive by this house every day, and as someone who rehabs century homes, I'd buy it in a sec. LF actually has quite a few of these gems.

It honestly depends on how well it’s been kept in the past. We owned a house like that on the Canadian border in NH and it was absolutely gorgeous and I miss it so much.

When I see a house like that, I 100% think it’s gonna be haunted.

I know someone on snelling who has a house like this. The first thing they did was completely gut it and redo everything.

Is that one of the old Sears catalogue style pre-made house designs?

Zoom in. All of the 2nd and 3rd story paint is starting to crack and peel. Also, every window looks like a nightmare.

I have basically a carbon-copy of this home... Just 1000 square foot smaller with no turrets, balcony, porch etc...
I dream of putting on a wrap-around 3 season porch like this one.

IMO, complex roofs and Minnesota don't mix.
I have a century house with 2 low slopes, two hip gables, 2 valleys (1 dumping onto a low slope). If I ever get another house, I'm going with a simple roof that is 2 rectangles.
