Old and charming

We recently went to an open house on the North Side of the city.  These townhomes date back to the late 1800's and are very charming. In fact, the entire street had lots of curb appeal. The renovations to these units were nice but, I was a little disappointed the contractor/owner didn't replaced the molding/raised panel around the front windows This trim had a fresh coat of paint but, you can see the chipped paint under the new coat.

There are many nice old homes in the area however, some of them are in the less desired areas of the city.  Most of them need major work but they have the original wood work (not painted), pocket doors and stain glass.  The homes have history and charm something you can't find with the newer homes.
