@Podaar, I think the previous owners had a multi-generational home going on, and the homeowner's dad considered himself "handy". They painted all of the wood trim white, in fact they painted the whole house white (except the kitchen cabinets, and the downstairs bathroom, which they painted hot pink!), but they didn't use any primer or painter's tape, so there's paint splotches on the bathroom tile, door handles, etc. We had to repaint the whole house before we moved in, but you can see all of his shoddy "handy work" on door hinges and things like that. The previous owner was really proud of his work, too, going out of her way to mention that her dad did all of the "improvements" when we did the close. She even asked us if we liked it! I think the living room was re-wired to accommodate a home office and a decorative fire place. Weird stuff! With the windows, there's like 4 different styles of windows in the house, and some of the wooden frames have rotted. We bought the house five years ago, and we've replaced the furnace and the A/C, and we got a new roof last fall. It was in better shape than most of the houses we ended up looking at back when we were house hunting. Lots of the older houses in our area had foundation cracks, which was really surprising.
