Your home is lovely, Moose. It looks like there's a lot of history behind it. We don't have that here.
I think the US has plenty of fascinating history too ! From Native American archaeology to the pilgrim fathers, wars of Independence, the Civil War , industrial heritage, the conquest of the West, and modern history I think you haven't done too badly ...
My house is only 115 years old, not as old as some of the ones pictured here but it's nice to know a bit about its own little story. It was built for mill workers ( Witney where I lived used to produce the most famous woollen blankets in the world- made in Oxfordshire and transported all over the world including the US , where they were traded for furs ( some purposefully had the small pox virus as an early type of biological warfare to destroy the native population) and there used to be a blanket mill just across the street, now long gone of course. Amazingly an elderly neighbour who died two years ago had been born in the same house she died in, lived there all her life and worked at that very mill !
I love all your houses, I always dreamt of having a beautiful Victorian house on the Maine Coast... And the Southern States also have some wondrous architecture.
I'm waiting for someone to post pics of a really nice old Victorian...those are my favorite. There are many where I live but they're too expensive for me. This is my house, it was built in 1930 and updated/expanded in 2004.
This is our tiny backyard
And here are some pictures my 6-year-old took of our dining room and kitchen

Your home is absolutely breathtaking. I'd gladly take a Victorian with a huge turret anyday over your home, but your neighborhood looks exactly like the type I'm in search of myself---flat, narrow lots with sidewalks and what appears to be a tree-lined street, all of which complement that inviting front porch of yours quite nicely. Here in suburbia, we no longer have a need for porches; we're too busy commuting 15 minutes to the grocery store for a gallon of milk everyday to have time to sit on a front porch with a pitcher of freshly-squeezed lemonade and wave to our neighbors as they go for their evening jogs.
If you love old homes, then you'd love Pennsylvania. Here are a few favorites that I have photographed from the Scranton/Pocono Area, and I'm hoping one will be on the market when I have enough money saved to purchase one for my family.
DROOOOOLLLL!!! Why doesn't anyone else like homes like these?
