Wanted: One perfect home for two

We have the specifics narrowed down - almost. 

I am looking for a two story, pre-1920's home with a fireplace, crown molding, spacious rooms, a cohesive floor plan, and the original doors and hardware.  Original windows and a large, tree-filled lot would be perfect. 

Shawn is looking for a new home with new appliances, plumbing, insulation, and HVAC with a garage and a finished basement. 

I care passionately about the feel and ambiance of the house - Shawn cares passionately about minimizing potential maintenance.  We both want to buy or install a new kitchen and baths.  And we would like to do this within the one 15-block area we both agree on... and within budget. 

The hunt is on for 2011!
