Floor plan planning of an old building from the 1930s

The house also reminds me of Swedish houses from that time. Maybe that's why I like it so much. :)

I think once Kati has seen this photo of you, there will be no stopping her. ;-) Yes, I know, we're romanticizing, but at least we're romanticizing nicely. :)

I think it would take someone with a lot of expertise who can assess 1) what is worth preserving and can also be preserved, 2) what effort (including financial) is proportionate – many things ARE POSSIBLE, but may be a money pit, and 3) can also visualize it.

They exist. There are architects specialized in renovations. Most do advertise with "historic buildings," but they can also handle "non-historic" houses. That then brings additional freedoms :-) .

2) is an important point. I am currently experiencing that a core renovation (at least in the historic building sector) is not cheaper than a new build. I am probably somewhere above > 3000 €/m2. A few things that otherwise stand for upscale standards (e.g. wooden windows, plaster moldings) are simply mandated by the heritage office. The fun with the shutters to be renovated (requirement!) that are 110 years old and the restoration of 30m of hornbeam hedge then adds up.

I always never really wanted to know exactly what monument conservators actually smoke.

Have you now bought the object?

No, sir, not yet. (Sorry very formal because 5 words).
