I love my 1929 bungalow, but there are a couple of things I really long for.
Central air is #1, by far. Unfortunately it's very, very expensive to retrofit behind the plaster. It will happen eventually, but the dollar amount gives me more chills than the system will once it's installed.
A pantry would be magnificent, either a walk-in or even just a floor to ceiling cabinet with roll outs. Right now I keep pantry stuff in the basement. The stairs are right off the kitchen, so it's not too bad, but it's certainly not as convenient as if the "overflow" dry goods and cans were right there in the kitchen.
Similarly, I would love to have more closet space in the master bedroom. Closets are pretty great for a house of it's age, but our bedroom is upstairs and the ceiling slopes such that closet space is pretty limited.
I forgot to add---some type of personal outdoor space. Porch. Balcony. Tiny backyard. Whatever.
Yes, even a tiny sitting space or green space can make a huge aesthetic difference and add a lot of value!
