I have just made an offer on 123 year old brick rowhouse - it wasn't practical but I fell in love (and its in a very nice inner city neighborhood). I am having it appraised/inspected. Inside, everything is old but not 123 years old. My question is, barring any structral problems (boy lets hope we don't find them) what is the average life of a brick home? foundation? I am single (and a teacher) so I'm concerned financing Major structural issues (inside I'm happy to keep tinkering away at old "llittle stuff" - grew up on a farm - I can lay carpet ect. ) I'm hoping I will grow old in this home (I'm 36) - is that unrealistic? Its age is in keeping with the mostly "restored" neighborhood - the bulk seem to be roughly 100-112 years old. Its a beautiful neighborhood - but I'm wondering if I may be buying "too old" for anyone on a budget?
