No - I want some modern comforts. It's like a love affair gone sour. The oak paneling used to make your heart skip a beat, but now the house feels dark and gloomy. The turrets, alcoves and odd-shaped rooms had seemed so inviting, but now you can't figure out where to put the furniture. Older homes may be beautiful, but they are not designed for modern living.
Modern houses have home offices, recreation areas, attached garages and other conveniences.
Also, newer houses tend to have larger bedrooms, bathrooms and storage areas. In comparison, the floor plan of a Victorian house can seem cluttered and convoluted. Instead of open spaces, you may find a series of small rooms connected by a maze of hallways and doors. The abundance of windows and doors add charm, but will make the rooms difficult to furnish. If there are closets, they are likely to be extremely narrow.
