Would you rather.......(house related)

Would you rather live in a beautiful old historical house or build a house based on a historical house with all the modern amenities?

I live in an older home, OP, and if I could, I'd love to build a brand new home in the style of an older one. It's not just modern amenities that I'd be concerned about because those can be put into any house, it's everything - windows, insulation (I live in an area with cold winters), foundation, wiring, pluming. Repairs and upgrades on older homes can be a pain - you go to do one thing and you uncover a host of other things that have to be repaired or replaced before you can do the first thing. I love the charm of an older home, but they can be frustrating to deal with at times.

I'm with R1... At worst, buy an old house and gut it, but you want to know the thing is solid.

Don't buy an old house in New England. Mine is a money pit. Hate the fucking thing.

I love in a somewhat old house. I would never be able to afford a new house with all the features my current house already has.

This old house, is it haunted? I would love to own a haunted house. Imagine the money you could make on Halloween with Air b&b!
