Old houses offer an abundance of character, with their quirky corners, rambling layouts, and stone walls that echo stories from a bygone era. The thick limestone walls, vibrant cement tiles, and winding stone staircases carry a sense of history, promising a feeling of "home" even before one sets foot inside.
