Hmmm, our house is around 1884 and we're currently spending low 5 figures to scrape the paint down to the wood on over half of it (plus the 2-sides porch), replace rotted wood, and replace 14 of the 20 windows. That was after spending low five figures when we moved in to replace the HVAC and main house roof (there's bathroom and kitchen extensions). Four windows and part of the 2nd story had already had this done a few years ago. Then we found out that the water pipes really need to be replaced, and the line from the meter runs 5 feet into a neighbor's property across most of theirs, then turns and runs through most of ours before reaching the house. Ugh.
So, how old are the windows and the furnace or whatever is feeding those floor vents? Was the mudroom, etc permitted? and the creation of the lower BR and bath? It doesn't look like it, since there's a discrepancy between the assessor and the MLS listings.
The "Barn" was used as a garage in the past...would you do the same? With the winters, I would think having a garage so you don't have to scrape off the car(s) would be good...When was its roof last replaced??
Like our house, inadequate closets/storage space thus leading to many shoe-horned in shelves, chests of drawers, etc.
And what's going on in the corner of the kitchen with one of the bottom cabinets? Is it cut away because there's another floor vent there? (see photo 4)

Boy, I sound like a party-pooper, don't I? I am sure it's the reconstruction currently going on here. Sorry!
