I'm with you on that. Which is why we usually buy old houses. 1920s-30s are the best, imo, because labor was cheap and good wood was abundant, but they were also designed with indoor plumbing and electricity in mind, instead of tacked on later like the older homes. Also, the wood floors are often in great shape, because they've been hidden under carpet for decades. Only downsides are the repairs they often need and how many of the old neighborhoods have declined.
When you can find the right neighborhood with historic homes well kept and shaded by giant trees though, it is awesome.
