There’s a lot to love about old homes. Close your eyes, and it’s easy to picture those design relics of the past—crown moldings, wainscoting, arched doorways, stone fireplaces, beamed ceilings, stained glass windows—but it’s just as easy to see the not-so-great: worn-out systems, drafty windows, the roof that needs replacing. Sometimes it’s just easier to love a home that doesn’t need constant TLC.
