Quirks (that I have discovered so far) of living in a home built in 1950:
- The windows are beautiful, but not energy efficient
- Old dust can be found anywhere
- The door is a little crooked
- The glass doorknobs on the interior doors tend to come loose
- The wood floors are scratched and are not totally flat
- Not all the burners on my gas stove light
- No dishwasher
- No washer/dryer
- Very little storage
Realize, though, that the advantages of living in this charming home greatly outweigh this short list of quirks. My list would be very long indeed if I were to list all the positives.
Mainly, though, the overall theme would be "older is better". Seriously, I am an advocate of restoring that which is there, and make it beautiful again. I don't always know how to do that, but my landlord does. And he shares that same view. Living in a place with 63 years of history is privilege, to me.
