I live in a 1923 Tudor home with a slate roof.  All Hansel and Gretel charming-looking on the outside.  Exposed beams in LR ceiling, 5 panel doors throughout... charm, charm, charm.  Work, work, work!!!!  Money, money, money!!!  Marry a carpenter or stay where you are and enjoy the tours.  :)  Although just to add, I do love my renovated kitchen with a zinc hood over the stove and leaded glass doors on two of the cabinets... tied in nicely with leaded glass in the DR.  But I digress... fall in love with a carpenter first.  Then HE can talk you out of it too.  ha, ha.  When we bought this house 3.5 years ago I thought for sure I'd die in it (b/c what more could I want!), now I just think it's going to kill me.
