5 Things to Look For When Purchasing an Antique Home

Many older houses are well-built, and the finishing features can be spectacular. Even if the house has been restored and looks to be in good condition, a comprehensive investigation is required to determine if there are any hidden problems. Here are a few things to think about when seeking to buy an older home.

Condition of Foundation

Thick stone foundations were common in historic homes. While stone is normally quite sturdy, the mortar used to connect the stones may not be. Mortar deteriorates with time. The same issues can occur in homes with concrete block foundations. Any mildew odor in the basement should be a warning sign that water has leaked in.

Mechanical Systems

Plumbing pipes in older homes could be brass soldered with lead or galvanized steel. Your inspector can quickly identify pipe material, and you may perform a 3-second water test with lead detection strips, which are comparable to litmus paper. The heating system is simple to inspect. Check to see if the boiler is more than 20 years old. Inspect the chimney for damage or soot buildup. And they may also inspect your cove smart carbon monoxide detector.

Hazardous Materials

Houses built before the 1960s are likely to have lead paint coatings. Another element typically found in older homes is asbestos. While asbestos is an excellent fire retardant, it is exceedingly dangerous if it becomes friable or airborne. If you suspect the presence of these compounds, ask your agent to identify a hazardous materials specialist who can test for them.

Types of Framing

One of the most appealing aspects of older homes' frame is that it is made of actual wood, potentially massive timbers. Check for termite or post beetle damage with the inspection. Insects may cause havoc in the home. You'll also want to know if the house was framed with balloons. This cost-effective strategy was popular in the mid-nineteenth century. The outer walls contain a cavity that extends from the top of the foundation to the roof rafters, which is the only disadvantage.

FOUND SPACE!

I am having my antique house in CT painted. At 180 years old, my ‘Expensive Mistress’ needs a facelift to replace rotten wood, and make other repairs, and a fresh cost of paint.

When I surveyed the progress this weekend, I realized that the back end of the wood shed that looks into the yard and the pool was in the worst shape of all, and is one of the most seen facades of the house.

What to do?!

The plan I devised is to raise the existing opening, and open up the other two sides to create a porch. It will take more work to build up the floor and possibly put screens in place. However, what was a marginally used space is about to become something thrilling!

There is more to be revealed!

Why did I go with all white? The floors in this house are 140-ish year old, wide-plank pine. They hold a large chunk of the soul of this place in every slightly wonky board. So I put everything else to work reflecting light onto them, instead of distracting from them like before. It’s my own version of historical minimalism. ——————————————— #houserenovation #adecentrenovation #woodwork #antiquehouse #hudsonvalleyny https://www.instagram.com/p/B92fy2ohH-r/?igshid=m4pudgaa22vx
