How long is a piece of string? How much does it cost to renovate? For most just moving in with a few grand on their Lowe's card seems acceptable.
Central air conditioning. I can't live without it. The house has 2 ceiling fans for it's cooling system. The walls and ceiling are in place, where do the ducts go without installing them warehouse style? Or is exposed duct work acceptable to you?
Obviously the steam heating system needs work or a huge wood stove wouldn't be in the beautiful living room. Do you even want steam?
The kitchen? LOL at it.
The foundation/basement .... don't even want to guess.
The roof? 85 years old wood under the slate? What kind of shape is it in? Somewhere it's fucked up.
1927 brick exterior ..... has it been maintained?
Window framing areas? What about the 85 year old windows and frames themselves?
Electricity? Old wiring? Replace it all, period.
Plumbing? If it's cast iron every inch needs replaced so it won't fail after you have remolded the rest of the house.
This list goes on. We haven't touched refinishing hardwood floors, Plaster work, etc.
For those that looked at the kitchen and thought .. "just need a refrigerator" yea I'm an idiot.
