      These houses are also all over Northeastern PA and on the lower NY state border... Pocket Doors and Coal shutes, marble fireplaces, ornamental doorknobs, high celings, 10 x 10 basement beams, solid granite stone foundations. Solid houses if dry and maintained well.

      @@investfourmore Glad you kept old light fixtures - I'm sorry some were replaced. Note that the living and dining room fixtures weren't converted from gas. Those are classic early electric chandeliers. The originals may have been gas-and-electric combos or just gas lamps that were later replaced. These are excellent, however.

      I was also glad to see that you kept many of the original windows with designs, the pocket doors, and refinished the hardwood floors. Only changes I'd make if I were buying it would be to replace the carpet in the basement and put a gas stove in the kitchen instead of electric. Otherwise, nice work; hope it sold well. :-)
