It sounds like a wonderful old house! I live in a new cracker box, designed as a first home for a young family (to meet the needs of the kids at the Army base here) its not really big enough for the four of us. Both of my children are grown and will be moving away all too soon *sigh* and the house will be just about the right size for the two of us for awhile. Then again, I'm just happy to have a home.
