Does an older or historic home fit your life?
Some of the homes that I am invited into are no more than shelter from the elements to their owners. Keeping the rain off should be the last thought, more of a given really, when creating your home. So many questions should run through your mind, not only does it have enough bedrooms, how big is the kitchen, etc. but also how will the children grow up within its walls. Does it have that perfect corner to curl up with a book and your eager 5 year old? Is it close enough for entertainment when the children get not quite old enough for driving but yearn to strike off on their own so that they can walk (in the inevitable pack ) to at least a coffee shop? Lots of times older homes will be able to fit the bill easier than some of the homes offered in the newer subdivisions.
