Sounds good if the style and location suit you. Inspect the house  
carefully. If you do not feel qualified, hire a professional house  
inspector. I say this because the lack of a hand rail on the stairs  
and the mezzanine are proof that the house was not built to code. Ask  
to see utility bills. And of course you will ask to see a list of very  
recent comparable sales to establish value.
