Buying and selling here

These are mostly pre-1960s homes, so the older-house checks matter. Look at the wiring, including any knob-and-tube or aluminum that has not been updated, the furnace, roof, windows and basement, and on a duplex or converted home confirm any suites are legal and permitted. Ask what has been modernized. Selling here, the character, the space for the money and the central, walkable location are your strong points.
