Sadly 19k sounds about right. My house built was built in 1937 the previous owners bought it and upgraded it. Luckily the did it the right way and kept the style and integrity of the house in tact. Double paned windows will keep the noise out and keep your house warm/cold.

As a side not I had to have a new sewer put in. Mine was clay and had been comprimised by 50 plus years of tree roots. Now the sewer is made of some kind of high end material that will outlast me.

I love owning a home, it's a nice hobby when you can't bike!
