Other than that it could be a nice fixer upper.

No switches? There's one right there on the lamp socket. []

That chimney looks like it might have bounced around a bit, maybe from a seismic tremor? Gravity will prevail if nothing else happens first.

Firetrap defies all odds and is now for sale for how much? []

I like the walnut floor joists and subfloor in the last pic! (or is that moisture stained) haha!

I hit two (2) 30-A 120v Services in the 21 years of inspection.... one was spitting distance from Boston College.... Amazing...

Both were 'Twilight Zone' houses with Twilight Zone owners..

I have had a few 110 volt services . The best was a Bungalo in Dedham , MA . The home was built cira 1915 and had 1 owner . Very few updates were done . The original gas stove /water heater was still in place , but the active water heater was a heat exchanger off the steam boiler . Water from the tap was 180 degrees ! The original electrical system was still in place , 3 circuits , all knob and tube wiring and a wooded fuse panel . The house was like a museum , the kitchen and bathroom were original and in pristine condition .
