Does anybody actually like the “antique” style interior? More than a modern renovation? I just moved out of a classic, unmolested Victorian house in SF and let me tell you, I don’t miss it one bit.

The fireplace was not functional (I presume there’s some law that actually forbids burning wood or something), smelled bad, and looked just like the picture in the article. I’ll take a modern gas fireplace I can actually use that doesn’t make the air smell like wildfire season, thanks. The “original” windows also didn’t close properly, wobbled all the time and made noise.

That being said, I absolutely adore the outside of Victorian homes in SF. They have all the charm and beauty with none of the downsides.
