It's your choice >
;? One question worth consider
ing today is whether to purchase a
home for its space or its amenities.
'Each has its benefits, however
rthere may be some tradeoffs
involved.
Consider space . Do you prefer
a a roomy home on a Sprawling lot
rthat lets you breathe and is not
?confining? You may be drawn to
Ihomes built prior to the 1970s,
!when building material costs were
;lower, and inexpensive land more
?available
i These homes had fewer walls to
box you (and less energy efficient:
windows, and more precious
?square feet of roominess. They
were perhaps, built more; simply,
I with few of today's exciting ameni
ties, yet they offer a strong sense of
^satisfaction.
Are amenities a more impor
tant consideration? Take a look a t
