Just like the exterior, the interior of the house needs some work. Many years of improper repairs and a certain degree of neglect contributed to some major issues.
Most seriously, a plumbing leak prior to our ownership caused significant plaster and wood damage in the front foyer. Additionally, some of the plumbing features were not in working order.
The floors in the kitchen, pantry and breakfast foyer had been recovered many times in the past (at least 4 layers on top of the wood). The wood floors in the rest of the home will likely need to be refinished.
The layout of the kitchen leaves no room for a refrigerator and does not meet modern ergonomic standards. Most of the cabinets are not original and will be replaced with reproductions of the original style when the kitchen is reconfigured. Some plumbing and electrical changes are necessary as well.
The paint is in okay condition in most areas, but certain rooms will need to be repainted.
Finally, many of the original fixtures were previously removed and stored in the attic. Those will be evaluated, cleaned and fixed (if possible) and reinstalled where appropriate.
